No, many substances have known melting points as well as known boiling points.
A:Far from it. On Saturn's moon Titan, for example, methane exists in the form of clouds (gas), lakes (liquid) and ice (solid).
Even here on Earth, common substances such as paraffin can likewise exist in all three states: otherwise, candles wouldn't burn.

Why do you say a substance in a liquid phase is more disordered than the same substance in a solid phase?
In a solid state, the molecules are less free to move around. They are in an order, all bunched together neatly jiggling in their space. In a liquid state however, the molecules are more free to move around, they can be adjusted and moved easily. Since the molecules can move more freely in a liquid state than a solid state, there is more disorder in the liquid state than in the solid state. This goes up the chain of states of matter by the way, from solid to liquid to gas to plasma, the disorder increases as the substance temperature increases.
Is plasma part of the solid liquid and gas group?
Plasma might be considered part of the solid, liquid and gas group. That's because, like a solid, a liquid or a gas, a plasma is another state of matter. It could be treated as a fluid, as gases and liquids are often considered. Plasma is another state of matter that might be said to be "beyond" gas. If we superheat a substance greatly and drive electrons out of their orbitals around parent atoms, we end up with a plasma. Plasma is generally considered the fourth state of matter by physicists. A material that is "cool" enough to exist as a solid can be heated and undergo a change of state to become a liquid. Heat that substance more and it becomes a gas. Heat it yet more and it becomes ionized particles we call a plasma. Use the link below to learm more about the fourth state of matter.
Which of the following is a change from a more condensed to a less condensed state of matter?
By "more condensed", do you mean "denser"? If so, the answer is "usually but not always". The most famous example of a substance where the solid form is less dense than the liquid form at the same temperature is water.
What is a substance that is neither a liquid nor a solid?
No, 'substance' has to be matter in one (or more) of these states of matter
Differentiate substance from mixture?
Substance is a kind of matter being described while mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are physically mixed and can be separated by mechanical means
Why does evaporation require that heat energy be added to a substance?
Heat is energy the substance needs to change it's state of matter (the more energy a substance has the higher it's temperature)
What state of matter is Carbon?
It depends on the pressure and temperature.
What happens to a substance when temp increase?
It depends on the type of matter and in the state of matter.1. With increase in temperature it becomes hot.2. With further increase if it in solid state it will change to a liquid state and finally to vapor state3. If it an organic matter it will set off bacterial decay.4. if the temperature excesses it may burn to be carbonizedInitially The particles in the substance vibrate quickly. this creates friction, which then heats up the substance. The substance also may expand by an insignificant amount, and the substance may become softer or more flowing.
If matter is made up of two or more elements and has the same ratio of atoms no matter the amount of the substance it is an?
If matter is made up of two or more elements and has the same ratio of atoms no matter the amount of the substance it is a compound.
No more energy can be removed from matter at?
at the dead state or zero state. it is the state of matter which is equivalent to the state of surroundings
A change in matter that produces one or more new substance is a?
A change in matter that produces one or more new substance is a chemical reaction. This is also known as a chemical change.
How does state of matter relate to temperature?
States of matter could be said to be Solid Liquid and Gas. As a substance transits or passes through these states of matter then the amount of energy increases. It takes energy to separate the particles and break bonds as the substance goes from Solid to Liquid and then more inter-particular bonds must be broken to form the Liquid. Temperature does not change during the change of state as the energy is absorbed by the bonds. Temperature continues to increase once the new state is formed.

What is a substance whose matter is more tightly packed than other another substance have a greater density or mass?
Mass
What is the physical effect of heat?
Heating a substance usually makes it expand Heating a substance can make it change state (solid to liquid, liquid to gas, gas to plasma) Heating a substance can make it emit light at shorter wavelengths Heating a substance can make it more malleable.
How many states of matter is found in our Universe?
Matter is thought to exist within four currently accepted states in nature but if we force inter moleculer force of attraction to make them weak and more apart then we can find more than 4 states of matter.The first state - is Solid with the lowest molecular movement. The next is Liquid, with the second least movement. The third is Gas, with the second highest movement. The fourth is Plasma, which is the highest movement state of matter at current.Beside these four there is one more state of matter it is called as Bose-Eienstien Condensate which is a state at extremly low temperature (i.e. absolute zero ) .It was proposed By Satendre Nath Bose and later on it was proved by Eienstien .So we can say that there are infinite states of matter because molecular force if attractions defines a substance state in nature and this molecular force of attraction can be changed by using extreme energy.
What is the meaning of Physical Change What is the meaning of Chemical Change?
PHYSICAL CHANGE - refers to the change in size, shape, or state of matter. CHEMICAL CHANGE - happens when one chemical substance is transformed into one or more different substance, such as iron becomes rust.
