What are the 4 uncommon states of matter?

The four uncommon states of matter are: Bose-Einstein condensate, fermionic condensate, quark-gluon plasma, and degenerate matter. Each of these states exhibit unique properties that differ from the more common states of matter like solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.


Why are solids incompressible?

Solids are incompressible because the atoms or molecules that make up a solid are already closely packed together. When an external force is applied to a solid, the atoms resist being pushed closer together due to their strong intermolecular forces and rigid structure, making them difficult to compress.


The three states of mater are?

The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither a definite shape nor volume.


Which technology relies on knowledge about energy and changes in states of matter?

Thermodynamics is the branch of science that deals with energy and its transformations, including changes in states of matter. It is used in various technologies such as power generation, refrigeration, and heat engines to optimize the efficiency and performance of energy systems.


The theory of biogenesis states that?

The theory of biogenesis states that living organisms arise from preexisting living organisms, rather than from nonliving matter. This theory contradicts the earlier theory of abiogenesis, which proposed that life could arise spontaneously from nonliving matter.

At what state would matter be incompressible?

degenerate matter would be incompressible. This would not be ordinarily met with, but is considered to be the material of a neutron star. Where, upon the collapse of a giant star, the gravitational forces would collapse all the neutron matter to a solid. Fond subject of sci-fi writers, e.g. Larry Niven (I think) wrote a story with the title Neutron Star, which will give a rough guide to the supposed physics.

Which states of matter has no defined volume?

Talking about the three "classical" states of matter, solids and liquids have a more or less fixed volume - they can be considered incompressible for most practical purposes - whereas a gas will fill up any container where you put it in.


What is the difference between Co2 compressible and Co2 incompressible?

Gasses are compressible and liquids and solids are incompressible. Using this information one can surmise that CO2 compressible would be the gas phase of CO2 and CO2 incompressible would be the solid (dry ice) phase of CO2.


In which state or states is matter compressable?

You can compress matter in any state because matter is mostly empty space. However, because it takes so much pressure to compress liquids and solids, they are said to be incompressible. ................. The gaseous state of matter is readily compressible.


What is the physical state of matter of incompressible?

Solids. They are most resistant to outer forces; but strictly speaking all materials are compressible.


What is a state of matter that has fixed shape but not fixed volume?

This question seems to have been asked in the reverse order. It is far more likely that someone interested in the subject would ask, "What is the state of matter that has fixed volume but not fixed shape?" The answer to that question is "incompressible". Incompressible means constant in volume despite changes in pressure. A body of water is incompressible but can change shape. We change the shape of a glass of water by drinking it, but we don't change its volume. The matter which fits this "reverse question" is the incompressible fluid (or incompressible flexible solid).To satisfy the question asked, the "thing" has to expand or contract at the same rate in all directions. A cube of material with side length of a metre might expand and become a cube of 1.5 metre side length. It is still a cube but of greater volume. A bubble or balloon which expands or contracts because of a change of temperature or pressure is a valid example. However, "being" a cube or a balloon is not a "state" of matter. It is a contrivance and more a result of its history rather than a state of its material.


How would you show that the 3 states of matter are interchangeable?

yes


Is water incompressible?

No, water is not completely incompressible, but it is very difficult to compress compared to other substances.
