Can a substance exist in all three states of matter simultaneously?
Schnazola
For substances, the temperature and pressure at which all three states of matter exist in thermodynamic equilibrium is called the triple point. However, a mixture would have two or more different substances with different melting and boiling points, meaning the triple point of each would be different.

∙ 11y agoEvery element has a specific point of pressure and temperature, called the triple point, which allows all three states of matter to exist together in equilibrium.
The same is true for many compounds.
The exceptions that occur are a result of a chemical reaction taking place caused by the change in pressure or temperature. For instance, larger organic compounds can decompose before they reach a temperature where they would vaporize.
A change in state is a physical change, i.e. liquid, gas, solid. It is sometimes possible for a compound to undergo a chemical change which preempts the physical change.

∙ 6y agoThere is no one element that fits this criterium. Every element can exist in 3 states of matter. Water, a molecule, can simultaneously exist as a solid, liquid and gas if that is what you are asking.

∙ 13y agoWater is not the only substance that can exist in three states. Look at table of elements. Everything has melting point and boiling point. All matter has it's own unique properties. Take Mercury for example it has ability to evaporate at higher temperatures, it is liquid at room temperature and if you cool it down it will crystallize.

∙ 7y agoMost elements have three states of matter. The exceptions are as follows:Arsenic sublimates at 889 K ( = 616 deg C),
Carbon sublimates at 4098 K ( = 3825 deg C),
Elements 96 onwards are thought to be solid at room temperature (20 deg C = 293 K) but their melting and boiling points are not known.
Finally, at normal atmospheric pressure, helium has a very peculiar behaviour around absolute zero.

Which form of matter can take all states of matter?
Any gas, liquid or solid can exist in all states of matter.
Can all matter exist in three states?
Yes, any element or compound can exist in all three states of matter. Though, some compounds or elements need special conditions in order to be one state of matter.
How many states of matter are there in helium?
there are no states of matter in helium.helium is a gas,wich is a state of matter.
Matter can exist in different phases or states. What are three common states of matter?
A solution is a liquide si it can only exist in liqiude form( unless frozen or heated of cause)
Does a change in state mean that a new substance has formed?
In a "physical change" a new substance is not created. In a "chemical change" a new substance is created. This applies to changes in states of matter. For example, ice, water, and steam are all the same substance, even though they exist in three different states. The elements of which they are comprised do not change. Sometimes you may be able to precipitate elements out of a substance through a phase change. In a mixture of alcohol and water you can fairly quickly boil out the alcohol.
What is a physical form that a substance can exist?
Solid, liquid, gas, or plasma. A substance can occur in any one these states. All matter occurs in one of these 4 states. These are the 4 states of matter.
What states can matter exist in and how are they determined?
The states matter can exist in are solids,liquids,and gases.
What are the physical forms of matter solid liquid and gas called?
Solid, liquid and gas are "states" of matter.
What three states of matter can water exist?
The three states of matter in which water can exist are gas, liquid, and solid.
When can all three states of matter exist in equilbrium?
At the super critical point. The required temperature and pressure may vary depending on the substance
How many states can matter exist?
Matter can exist in a solid, liquid, or gas as well as plasma.
Name a substance that can exit in all three stats of matter?
Most substances can exist in any of the three states of matter, depending on their temperature. Water if the perfect example: water, steam, and ice.
What States of Matter does water exist?
liquid
Which form of matter can take all states of matter?
Any gas, liquid or solid can exist in all states of matter.
What physical form can a substance exist?
There are five main physical forms of substance or states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, plasma, and Bose-Einstein condensate. The most common ones on earth are solid, liquid and gas.
What are the three physical forms in which a substance can exist?
They are the three states of matter.SolidLiquidGas
Can matter exist in all 3 states?
Well everything has matter therefore, it is possible for it to be in all 3 states
