  2. Jun 19, 2020 · List the three states of matter and give examples of each. Describe the properties of each state of matter. Identify and describe each type of change in state. Recognize that boiling and melting points vary with each substance. Recognize that a substance's boiling point depends on the pressure.

  3. , Sal shows 3 states of matter, solid,liquid,and gas. But if you search it up at science websites, and many other places such as google and bing, they say there is a 4th state of matter (PLASMA).So is plasma really a state of matter?

  4. The three primary states of matter are the solid, liquid, and gaseous states. All the materials we see in our daily lives (from ice-cream to chairs to water) are made up of matter. Matter can be classified into different states such as solid, liquid and gas on the basis of intermolecular forces and the arrangement of particles.

    You can change any substance from a solid to a liquid or gas, or back again, just by changing its pressure and/or temperature, but that's not immediately obvious to us in a world where the temperature and pressure don't change much at all. On Earth, temperatures broadly vary from about −30°C to +30°C or (−70°F to +90°F)—which seems a huge variation...

    Another way to understand solids, liquids, and gases is by thinking about the energy they contain. A balloon full of gas has molecules dashing about inside it, smashing repeatedly into the rubberwalls and pressing them outward. Balloons stay up because the force of the gas molecules pushing against the inner surface of the rubber exerts a pressure ...

    What if you cool down a balloon—and keep cooling? Suppose you fill your balloon with steam to start with. Cool it for a while and you'd get a balloon with a bit of water inside, then a balloon frozen with ice. If you keep on cooling, you take more and more energy from the molecules inside. Even the atoms or molecules in a solid do move about a litt...

    A solid lump of iron is much heavier than a glass of water the same size, while a balloon that's many times bigger seems to weigh nothing at all. Some solids, such as rubber, are very stretchy: you can pull a rubber band to two or three times its length and it will snap straight back to its original length when you let go. Other solids (like glass ...

    If you heat a liquid, sooner or later you get a gas—but what happens if you keep heating? Eventually you produce a fourth state of matter called a plasma, in which the gas molecules not only separate from one another but break apart into their subatomic components—electrons and ions (in this case, atoms missing electrons). Plasmas are used in plasm...

    I've just broken the "bad" news that there are four states of matter, not three. But is that the end of the story?Nope! There are a few others that exist only under extreme conditions. The best known of theseare called Bose-Einstein condensates (in honor of physicists Albert Einstein and Satyendra Nath Bose). They're formed when special gases made ...

    • Solid. Something is usually described as a solid if it can hold its own shape and is hard to compress (squash). The molecules in a solid are closely packed together – they have a high density.
    • Liquid. In liquids, the molecules have the ability to move around and slide past each other. A liquid will take on the shape of the container it is being held in.
    • Gas. In gases, the atoms are much more spread out than in solids or liquids, and the atoms collide randomly with one another. A gas will fill any container, but if the container is not sealed, the gas will escape.
    • Plasma. Plasma is very similar to gas, In fact, the easiest way to describe plasma is as a gas that can carry an electrical charge. Plasma is a form of matter that exists when atoms are in an excited state.
  5. Oct 26, 2022 · Solid (the ice), liquid (the water) and gas (the vapor) are the three most common states of matter — at least on Earth. In ancient Greece, one philosopher recognized how water could change form and reasoned that everything must be made of water. However, water isn’t the only type of matter that changes states as it’s heated, cooled or compressed.
