The state (phase) of matter is the condition of its molecular structure, which can be temperature-dependent.
Four States of Matter
The state of confusion.
Some people call it a liquid, others call it a solid, the more sane of us think "Can't we just call it a glass and be done with it?"
The argument for calling it a liquid goes something like this: Solids have a definite crystalline structure and a sharply defined melting point. Glass has neither of these. Ergo, it is a liquid.
The argument for calling it a solid goes something like this: Look at it. You can sit it on the table without worrying about it dripping off onto the carpet. You can BREAK it and cut yourself on the pieces, for Pete's sake. "Oh look, rocks must be liquid too, hur hur hur."
A slightly more sophisticated version relies on thermodynamic properties, specifically on the fact that there's what's called a first-order phase transition when a material goes from a solid to a liquid, and that doesn't happen when molten glass cools. Instead, it just gets more and more viscous, until it reaches a point where it's superficially indistinguishable from a solid. However, at least in some materials there's something called a "glass transition temperature", at which the material goes from being hard and brittle to being rubbery, and there IS a phase transition (albeit not a first-order one) at that point.
It turns out that dividing things into "solids" and "liquids" is too simple to adequately describe what's going on with glasses. Among materials scientists, the term "amorphous solid" is preferred. It gets across the point that there's no long-range order, it conveys indirectly that this is technically a metastable state on timescales approaching infinity, and (perhaps most viscerally satisfying) it manages to imply that just by looking at one you can't tell it's not thermodynamically a solid in the same sense that a crystalline material is.
(The few adherents of the "liquid" camp often use "supercooled liquid" but that term has its own problems, most disturbing of which is that the same term is more commonly used that clearly are liquids and look and act like liquids on a human timescale, which glass does not.)
What's the answer
solid, liquid, gas, plasma
liquid
seven
Solid.
Liquid
it would be in a liquid!
Take into account that there are more than 3 stages of matter, and glass happens to be its own state of matter. By definition, glass is anything that goes through a "glass transition". Rubber happens to go through one in its solid state (meaning it can shatter and not stretch if it gets too cold). Thus, since rubber is a glass, not all glass is transparent.
if your talking about a wood or glass or metal sliver, it would be solid
If you include only the three "classical" phases of matter, it's considered a liquid. However, it's now agreed that there are many more phases (10+), and glass is it's own state of matter.
is ice an example of the liqiud state of matter?
Glass is indeed a solid. It is a solid because it displays every mechanical property of a solid (as opposed to another state of matter).
Neon signs are basically glass tubes filled with gas and vapor so the major states of matter would be solid (for the glass) and gas.http:/enzperiodzwikipediazperiodzorg/wiki/Neon_sign
Solid - glass bottle Liquid - drink Gas - fizz
The House of Representatives is assigned by the population of the state.
Oil will sink in water, so is the least dense.
solid is the state of matter which is made by freezing liquid to it freezing point (which is 31.9 degrees) hope this helps!! No you are wrong it is the thick layer of something like a glass which you showed well part of your answer is right
FEMA is the acronym for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The State Coordinating Officer for FEMA is assigned by the governor of the state.
