What happens when matter changes state?
Matter, when increasing in energy, can change from a solid to a liquid or a liquid to a gas, giving the molecules of the matter more movement and ability to move away from other molecules. Solids are the least energized state of matter, in which the matter is in a constant, stable place around other molecules and can only vibrate. They have both constant volume and shape When Solids melt, they turn into 'unstuck' liquids that have constant volume but not constant shape. When liquids evaporate, they transform into a state that allows free movement of each molecule, creating gas. This state has no definite volume nor shape.
Which term describes a state of matter that has a definite volume but no definite shape?
Liquids because when they are put into different beakers their shapes might change but their volume will always be the same.
If mass stays the same and density decreases then the volume does what?
Increases.
In an isotonic solution what happens to the shape of the cell?
it stays the same
What is the mass of a 185 lb man on the moon?
The same as on Earth or anywhere for that matter. Your mass stays the same no matter where you are.
Matter that a definite volume and a definite shape is?
A Solid because it has the same volume and shape unless you change its state of matter, it wont have the same volume or shape.
When chewing gum does the volume change?
No, the volume stays the same, the chewing gum just changes its shape/
What happends to the volume of a substance when it is cut to pieces?
It Stays the same no matter how you cut it.
What is a kind of matter with a volume and a shape that both stay the same?
solid
Which state of the three states of matter is the volume most affect?
A solid will remain the same volume and shape A liquid will remain the same volume but change shape to its container A gas will expand its volume to fill its container entirely
What phases of matter have a definite shape?
Only a solid has a definite shape. It also has a definite volume. A liquid has a definite volume, but an indefinite shape. A gas has both an indefinte shape and volume. Same for plasma. Hope this helps!
What is a form of matter that has a definite volume but no definite shape?
The state of matter that has definite volume, but indefinite shape is the liquid state. A solid constantly has the same shape and volume. A wooden block (solid) will not change its shape or volume unless it is melted, but that would involve changing it from solid to liquid. A liquid constantly has the same volume, but its shape changes. Find a cylindrical container that has the same volume as a rectangular container. Fill the cylindrical container with water. Then, pour the water to the rectangular container. The shape of the water changed from cylindrical to rectangular and the volume remained the same, unless some water was dropped in the process. A gas has changing shape and volume. Find a small container full of a colored gas. Open in it inside a room. The gas will spread all over the room. Its volume changed from the volume of the container to the size of the room. Its shape has changed from the shape of the container to the shape of the room.

What a solid liquid and gas have in common?
take up space and have particles
How are volume and surface area the same when volume stays the same?
There is no reason for the surface area to remain the same even if the volume is the same.
