What state of matter is a material most likely to resist compression?
A material is most likely to resist compression as a solid. In solids, the atoms are closely packed together in fixed positions, which makes it difficult to compress them. Liquids and gases are more easily compressible because their particles are more loosely arranged.
Are liquids dense?
Some liquids are denser than others. In general, everyday experience, most liquids are denser than gases, but not as dense as solids. There are some exceptions to this rule.
What floats in ethyl alcohol?
Most solids and liquids that are less dense than ethyl alcohol will float in it. Some examples include oil, wax, and certain types of plastic. However, materials that are more dense than ethyl alcohol, such as most metals, will sink in it.
What is the most calorie-dense substance?
The most calorie-dense substance is pure fat, which contains 9 calories per gram.
Why can solids not easily be compressed?
The particlesin a solid are packed closely together and they can only vibrate about their fixed positions because there are little space between them, but there is space, therefore, solids can be compressed, but it takes extreme pressure, and it can not be compressed much.
Cannot be squashed into less space?
Neutronium is quite difficult to compress, but Black Holes are even more compressive. In the laboratory, most solids fit the bill.
Why is it more difficult to change the shape of a solid or a liquid?
Solids are hard to touch because they have molecules tightly packed to each other and do not exist in the liquid state.they have a perfect shape and volume and have Wight
Which physical state of matter is the densest?
Solids are the most dense state of matter
Which state of matter is most resistance to compression?
The solid state of matter is most resistant to compression because the particles are tightly packed together and have minimal space to move. This makes it difficult to compress solids compared to liquids and gases.
Which of the four states of matter is the densest?
Solids are the most dense as their particles are most closely packed.
What is the most dense state of matter to the least dense including solids liquids gases and plasmas?
The order is: - solid (the densest) - liquid - gas - plasma
If substances of different densities were layered on top of each other the less dense will be on the top or bottom?
if they are all fluids than the less dense will be on the top and the most dense on the bottom but if there are solids than the solids will be in the order you put them in.
What is harder to compress gas liquid or solid?
The molecules of a solid are the most tightly packed than those of either gas or liquid making it the hardest of the three to compress. Gas has the most space between molecules and is therefore the easiest to compress.
Is gas inside a hot air balloon less dense than a penny?
Yes. By definition, most gases are less dense than most solids. i can't think of a counter example. Plus, the gas inside a hot air balloon is superheated to make it even less dense, as heating things makes them less dense
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.
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 has the highest density solids liquids or gases?
Of substances that are liquid at room temperature, mercury will be the most dense, with a specific gravity of 13.5, or thirteen and one half times heavier than water. Ether is probably the least dense common liquid with a specific gravity of .73, about 25% lighter than water.
