What state of matter occurs when a solid melt?

When a solid melts, it transforms into a liquid state of matter. This occurs as the temperature increases, causing the particles within the solid to gain energy and break free from their fixed positions. As a result, the solid loses its rigid structure and becomes more fluid, allowing it to flow and take the shape of its container.


When water turns to ice it is what?

Ice is water in its solid form. When it melts, it is water in its liquid form. Most forms of matter take on either the solid, liquid, gas or plasma state depending on pressure and temperature.


What states of matter has its own shape?

A solid has a shape of its own. Liquids and gases take the shape of their container.


What state of matter will always take the shape and volume of its container?

the state of matter that changes shape when placed in a different container is water


What state of matter does technetium naturally take?

Technetium is a solid metal.


State in which matter has definite shape volume?

Solids. Liquids and gases take the shape of the container they're in and the volume of gases changes with pressure and temperature.


What happens when oxygen melts?

When oxygen melts, it changes from a solid state to a liquid state. It loses its rigid structure and the molecules become more mobile, allowing them to flow and take the shape of their container. At its melting point of -218.79 degrees Celsius, oxygen becomes a clear, colorless liquid.


When ice melts does it expand?

yes it does. one of the consequences of water due to hydrogen bonding.


Is gas the most dense state of matter?

Gas is actually the least dense state of matter. In a gas, particles are spread out and have high energy causing them to move rapidly and take up a large volume. Solids are the most dense state because their particles are tightly packed together.


What state of matter does not take the shape of the container it is in and why?

Solid. Solids have a fixed shape and volume because their particles are tightly packed together, forming a rigid structure that does not allow them to flow and take the shape of their container.


Which state of matter does radiation take place in?

Radiation can exist in all three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Radiation is a type of energy that can be emitted by particles or waves and can travel through various mediums, regardless of their physical state.


What BEST describes the physical state of matter that has a fixed volume but takes the shape of its container- Semi-solid - Solid-- Gas or Liquid?

the state of mater that has a definite shape is solid. solid always have a definite shape. on the other hand liquids and gases do not have a definite shape. they take the shape of their container.
