What happens when water is kept in a fridge?
It will change it's matter into solid from liquid . The solid formed is called ice.
What make up matter?
So I had this question for school. I looked it up here and in the textbook. So for one thing matter can be in the form of; a solid, a liquid, or a gas (that is not what its made of tho). Matter is made up of molecules, and atoms. So don't put down on your final exam that matter is made up of solid, liquid, and gasses. MATTER IS MADE UP OF MOLECULES AND ATOMS!!
Does solids have atoms that hold it in place?
All matter is made of atoms. Liquids, solids and gases are all made of atoms. It is the bond between atoms that make a substance solid or liquid.
How does a liquid evaporates and freezes?
In matter, atoms are constantly moving, but the speed at which they are moving influences their form. Faster moving atoms are a gas, slower than that is a liquid, and even slower than that is a solid. The colder the temperature, the slower atoms move. As the temperature gets closer to freezing temperature, the atoms slow down in moving more and more. Thus the liquid becomes a solid. *FYI - The fourth form of matter is Plasma
What happens when matter changes from liquid to solid?
As matter changes from solid to liquid (in other words when solid matter melts) the temperature remains constant. After all the solid has melted, the temperature of the matter may begin to rise again if the environment is warmer than the melting point of the solid.
Is matter made out of solid liquid gass?
Matter is a combination of atoms, often molecules, that are in a solid, liquid, or gas phase.
Why is plasma different from solid liquid and gas?
Solid, liquid, and gas states of matter are composed of neutral atoms or molecules. Plasma is the state of matter composed of highly ionized atoms and free electrons.
Solid or liquid argon have greater density?
Matter has more density when solid than when in a liquid state. The atoms are closer together.
In what type of matter are atoms most tightly packed?
Matter that has a definite shape and volume is in solid state.
What happens to the composition of matter during a physical change?
It can change from a gas to a solid to a liquid, or from a liquid to a solid to a gas. This change does not affect the composition of the matter.
In which state of matter do atoms vibrate but remain in a fixed position?
liquid
Is mater a solid liquid and gas?
yes. Matter is the stuff of the physical world. Everything is made up of matter. Different combinations of atoms make up matter. As to which substance is liquid, solid, and gas...it's water.
What happens during a changes of state?
1. A change of the phase of matter: liquid to solid, gas to liquid, solid to liquid. 1. Absorption or release of energy.
What to learn about matter?
There are different states of matter that include solid, gas, liquid, and plasma. Atoms and molecules are made up of matter. Matter occupies space.
What happens when water is kept in a fridge?
It will change it's matter into solid from liquid . The solid formed is called ice.
What is changed when matter undergoesa physical change?
The atoms in the matter change their position. Any matter can be in four physical stages. Matter can be solid, which requires the lowest temperature, when heaten up, the material melts and changes its appearance to liquid. When heaten up again the liquid vaporizes and become gas and when heaten up even more at some point the gas become plasma. Plasma is the form of the hottest the matter can get, and plasma is found inside stars and such. When a matter changes its physical form from more solid towards less solid the atoms in which it is built start to move faster and faster thus changing the form of the matter. The atoms of solid matter are quite still, only minor movement happens, which a human eye cannot normally see. When melting, the atoms move more irrationally and the matter melts to liquid. When vaporizing the atoms move so quickly that the matter is in gas state and in plasma the atoms move furiously everywhere.
What does matter do?
matter is anything that takes up space and has mass.It can be solid,liquid,or gas.The building blocks of matter are tiny particles called atoms.
