Gas is one of the three classical states of matter (the others being liquid and solid ). Near absolute zero, a substance exists as a solid. As heat .... 1000 atoms of protactinium as a gas occupy the same space as any other 1000 atoms for any given ...without any definite shape or volume that are in more or less random motion

Which term is defined as the process by which a substance changes state from solid to liquid-?
melting
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 physical states is present when a substance melts?
what state of matter is present at the melting point of a substance
What is needed for the molecules in a solid state to change into the liquid state?
In order for molecules in a solid state to change to a liquid state, the substance needs to be heated. An increase in temperature causes more molecular movement (this leaves more space between each molecule) which results in what we see as the physical change from solid to liquid and then eventually liquid to gas.
What is the physical state of the products?
A physical state of a substance is whether it is solid, liquid, or gas.
Is a solid substance not considered matter?
of course it is. All substances are matter.
What substance conducts electricity in aqueous state but not in solid state?
ionic substance
Can freezing form a new substance?
No, freezing is a change in STATE of a substance (from liquid to solid), the solid is NOT a new substance.
What state of matter is the substance in?
Solid
What state of matter is that substance?
solid
Physical state when a substance is melting?
When a substance is melting, there is equilibrium between the solid and liquid state, meaning it is both a solid and a liquid.
In which state of matter would a substance have the least thermal energy?
The solid state.
Which term is defined as the process by which a substance changes state from solid to liquid-?
melting
What is the state in which a substance has definite shape and volume?
Solid state.
Solid to liquid to gas?
The process of transforming a substance from a solid state to a liquid state is celled melting. The process of transforming a substance from a liquid state into a gaseous state is called vaporization.
What is the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid state to a liquid state?
The freezing point is when a liquid changes into a solid.
What is the state of matter in which the volume and shape of a substance are fixed?
the solid state
