Why are solids, liquids, plasma, and gas considered matter?
Solids, liquids, plasma, and gas are considered matter because they have mass and occupy space. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space, and these four states of matter exhibit these properties.
How does a plasma differ from a gas?
Plasma conducts electricity and a gas doesn't. Plasma is not commonly found on Earth, but scientists believe that 99% of space, including the sun, is made up of plasma.(Resource-Science The Diamond Edition By Scott Foresman)
Does gases take up a lot of space?
Gasses spread out to take up as much space as they can but it really depends on the amount of gas.
What states take up a definite amount of space?
Solids and liquids take up a definite amount of space, where as a gas will fill its container.
How does the total volume of gas particles compare to the volume of the space between the gas?
The amount of space that gas particles can take up is the size of the container, but the amount between them also is determined by the amount of space the gas takes up.
What does not have a definite shape and does not take up a definite amount of space?
Matter that has no definite shape or volume is a gas.
Does a gas take up definite amount of space?
Yes. A gas completely fills its container.
What does a solid a gas and a liquid have in common?
they all take up space
How does plasma take up space?
Plasma takes up space because it consists of charged particles, such as ions and electrons, that occupy a volume in a given area. Like gases, plasmas expand to fill their container, meaning they have no fixed shape or volume. The density and temperature of the plasma can affect how much space it occupies, but fundamentally, it behaves similarly to gases in terms of spatial occupancy.
How is plasma different from a gas?
plasma is different from a gas because the particles that make up plasma are electrically charged.
Do liquids take a definite amount of space but do not have a definite shape?
Yes. To clarify: Solids : Take up a definite space and have defined shape Liquids : Take up a definite space but have no defined shape Gas : Have no defined space or shape.
Why is volume the measurement of gas and liquid?
electricity ,they both take up space
