Does gases take up a definite amount of space?
No. Any amount of gas, no matter how little, always takes up as much space as you let it.
What state of matter has a definite volume but no definite shape?
A liquid has a definite volume (which can change with temperature), but takes the shape of its container.A Liquid is the state that has no definite shape, since the atoms can move around, it is therefore able to form itself to the shape of its container. However, since the atoms still have weak bonds to one another, it cannot fill up a closed container by stretching out the atoms. (The form of matter that does this is a gas.)* Liquids can be very slightly compressed, but not to the extent of gases.---There are 3 phases of matter. Solids, liquids and gases. Solids have a definite shape and a definite volume. Liquids do not have a definite shape but do have a definite volume. Gases do not have a definite shape as they can "flow", and they do not have a definite volume as they can fill a container by changing in pressure (density).
The smallest part of matter that still functions like matter is?
The smallest part of matter that still functions like matter is called an atom. The atoms make up molecules that in turn make up cells.
One of the small particles that make up matter?
There are a few different particles that make up matter. Some of them are called quarks, electrons and leptons.
Are particles that make up matter always stationary?
no
What is a Solid material that has a definite chemical make up?
mineral is the answer
How do the particles that make up matter compare during physical and chemical changes?
The particles that make up matter are unchanged during physical, or chemical changes. Matter can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed.
What state of matter does not have a definite shape and takes up no definite amount of space?
Gas
What is a state of matter that has a definite shape and takes up a definite amount of space?
A solid has a definite shape and occupies a definite amount of space.
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.
What is a form of matter that takes up a definite amount of space?
A solids and liquids have a definite volume, thus take up a definite amount of space. Gasses and plasma have no definite volume.
What is the state of matter that has a define shape and takes up a definite amount of space?
Every state of matter takes up a definite amount of space.
What are chemical properties of different types of matter?
Matter can be classified according to its composition Solid: has a definite shape, mass & volume & are highly rigid. They cannot flow, have high density, are almost incompressible & have any no. of free surfaces. Liquid: has a definite mass & volume but no fixed shape & are less rigid. They can flow & take up the shape of the container in which it is stored. Gas: have a definite mass but have no fixed volume or shape & is not at all rigid. They can flow & take up the shape & volume of the container in which it is stored.
What does physics mean in science?
Physical is the opposite of chemical in science. A chemical change involves an actual change in the molecular make up of something while a physical change may remove matter but the chemical make up does not change.
The rearranging of the chemical makeup of matter is called a what?
The rearranging of the chemical make-up of matter is called a chemical reaction. This is what will constitute a chemical change as it will alter the chemical composition.
Is flammability a physical properity?
Flammability is a chemical property because the matter undergoes a chemical change (change in the make-up molecules) when it is burned.
What is the part of matter?
Atoms make up matter. Inside of atoms are electrons (negitive charge), protons (positive charge), and nuetrons (no charge). If you mean the States of Matter . . . There are 3 main States of Matter. Solid, Liquid, & Gas. Solid: Particles are packed closely together, and solids have a definite shape and a definite volume. Liquid: Particles are loosely packed, have no definite shape but a definite volume. Gas: Particles are spread out, and have no definite shape and no definite volume. There is a 4th state of matter, Plasma, but that only occurs in very hot temperature. Like stars for example. P.S. Lava is liquid, NOT plasma, even though it is very hot!
