There are 3 states of matter in this universe which are liquid , solid , gas and plasma. Let's explore each of the state of matter
Matter
The word matter is used to cover all the substances and materials in the whole universe , all of the matter in our universe have one thing in common , they have volume and mass.Chemistry is the study of how matter behaves and how the matter can change into an another depending on conditions , like solid to liquid or liquid to gas , these changes occur when there is a change on the temperature or pressure , we can find all of the matter can exist in 3 forms Liquid, solid and gas , some matters can also change. Matter can change when the temperature is same but there will be higher pressure given on the substance which can change the volume of the substance
Gas , Liquid and Solid
The difference between the 3 states , one kind of difference is that liquid and solid can flow while solid is on a fixed place at a fixed volume , liquid and gas are fluids , they can be transferred from one container to another, there is also a difference in the way they respond to different temperature and pressure given on them. Let's compare all of the state of matter on Physical state , volume , density , fluidity and shape
Solid
For solid the volume is fixed , it cannot have further changes until there is extra pressure or extra pressure given , the density of a solid is very high as the particles between them touch with very small space between them , it has a natural solid shape which everybody can see and it cant flow
Liquid
Liquids have a fixed volume , for example if you have a glass which has 100 ml water , when you keep pouring till the last glass the quantity remains the same , the density of liquid might be high or low , its fluidity is easy as it can flow easily
Gas
Its volume is till it fits the particular area the gas covers up all of the area , the density of gas is low than liquid and gas , takes up the shape of the figure it is in , does not have a proper shape , it can flow easily
What is the difference between evaporation and boiling?
What is the effect of increasing the temparature on the kinetic energy and the movement of the particles of a gas?
What is the name of the force that holds the particles of a solid together?
What is the name of the process in which a liquid changes into a gas?
What is the difference between freezing and sublimation?
What is the effect of decreasing the pressure on the boiling point of a liquid?
7. What is the difference between solid and plasma?
