When it comes to water, ice takes up more space as compared to water. Does this apply to all states of matter? If so, to what else does it apply to?

Solid or liquid argon have greater density?
Matter has more density when solid than when in a liquid state. The atoms are closer together.
Can an individual atom be a solid liquid or gas?
atoms make up the world and us humans, so they are present in solids, liquids and gases. A2:although atoms are present in solids liquids and gases, they are truly "solid", because when matter is in liquid form, it just means that there is more space between atoms, so you are feeling less matter and more space/vacuum. if somehow, you were to touch a single atom, it probably be solid, because solids are atoms tightly packed, so you are feeling more matter and less space Atoms are neither solid, liquid nor gas. Atoms are composed of subatomic (meaning smaller than an atom) "particles" called protons, electrons and neutrons. Although we call them particles, they are not physical things that can be described as solid, liquid or gas.
What are the three stages of matter?
If you mean "phases of matter", or "states of matter", the Wikipedia lists around 20 of them, and there are probably more. The three "classical" ones, i.e., the ones most commonly taught in schools, are solid, liquid, gas.
What is 3 state of matter?
the three states of matter includesolid, liquid or gasa solid has a definite shape and volume while a liquid has a definite volume but an indefinite shape. this is because a liquid can take up the shape of its container (where the liquid is held). And a gas has neither a definite shape and volumeall solids liquids or gases can go through the changes of state !
What are two phase changes that occur when matter loses heat energy?
Gaseous matter can become liquid and if more heat is lost liquids become solid.
How do you explain when a state of matter is said to have definite volume?
A liquid or solid will not take up a larger space than the space it occupies; even if more space is freely available.On the other hand, both a liquid and a solid are incompressible, for most practical purposes; that is, you can't compress it to use less space than the space it uses, either.A liquid or solid will not take up a larger space than the space it occupies; even if more space is freely available.On the other hand, both a liquid and a solid are incompressible, for most practical purposes; that is, you can't compress it to use less space than the space it uses, either.A liquid or solid will not take up a larger space than the space it occupies; even if more space is freely available.On the other hand, both a liquid and a solid are incompressible, for most practical purposes; that is, you can't compress it to use less space than the space it uses, either.A liquid or solid will not take up a larger space than the space it occupies; even if more space is freely available.On the other hand, both a liquid and a solid are incompressible, for most practical purposes; that is, you can't compress it to use less space than the space it uses, either.
How is the space of atoms in a solid different from a liquid and a gas?
A solid is more compact.
2 kinds of matter?
the two kinds of matter is the solid,liquid and these are the 1 more matter its gas
Solid or liquid argon have greater density?
Matter has more density when solid than when in a liquid state. The atoms are closer together.
Do solid occupy space?
Yes, a solid, liquid, gas as well as the other states of matter all occupies space. 2. But the space occupied by gases and liquids is not necessarily of fixed dimensions.
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

What is the volume for the three states of matter?
the tree states of matter are solid,liquid,gas and one more plasma.
Wich state of matter expands the most when heated?
gas expand more than liquid and liquid expand more than solid.
How does temperature affect matter?
As the temperature of the matter gets colder it will become more of a solid. (gas to liquid to solid) As the temperature of the matter increases it will become more of a gas. (solid to liquid to gas) And once the matter gets to be around 10,000 degrees, it may turn in to plasma.
What are physical changes in matter?
There's a bit more than 3. gas -> liquid (condensation) liquid -> gas (evaporation) liquid -> solid (freezing) solid -> liquid (melting) solid -> gas (sublimation) gas -> solid (deposition) gas -> plasma (ionozation) Plasma -> gas (deionozation)
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.
