There are many different states of matter, however the three most commonly known are: solid, liquid and gas. There is also a fourth that is widely used, plasma, however there is some debate as to whether or not it should be separated from the gas state. While the states themselves are unchanging, matter can change between the states. For instance, in different temperatures, water changes from a liquid to a solid (freezing) or from a liquid to a gas (evaporation) and vice-versa. Some substances, such as dry-ice (CO2), change directly from a solid to a gas (sublimation). There are other states of matter which are less known, and generally only used in specific sciences.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between states of matter and change of state?
change of state is when the different states of matter are changed into one another. states of matter are gas, liquid, plasma and solid.
What changes in states of matter?
chemical change
When temperatures change almost all matter change states?
True
When the states of matter change to solid to liquid what is it called?
Physical change
Can matter change states after a physical change?
Yes, matter can change states after a physical change. Physical changes involve changes in the arrangement of particles without altering the chemical composition. For example, melting ice (solid to liquid) and boiling water (liquid to gas) are physical changes that involve changes in state.
Do all liquids change states of matter?
yes
Does the weight of an object change when it changes states of matter?
No, the weight of an object does not change when it changes states of matter because weight is determined by the gravitational force acting on the object, which remains constant regardless of its state of matter.
How many states of matter can iron change into?
Iron can exist in three main states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. In specific conditions, it can also exhibit a fourth state called plasma.
Can matter change states after a chemical change?
No, matter cannot change states after a chemical change. A chemical change involves the rearrangement of atoms to form new substances, which may have different properties than the original substances. However, the state of matter (solid, liquid, gas) itself remains the same throughout the chemical change.
What scientific law states that matter can change forms but the total amount of matter remains constant?
Law of Conservation of Matter.
What are the two changes of state in matter?
"The" two changes are wrong. There are lots of different states of matter, and therefore many different possible transitions. The most commonly studied states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas; each of them can change directly to each of the others, for a total of 6 types of change.
What will cause the states of matter to change?
Temperature and pressure are the most common.
