Mass is a measure of the amount?

No. Mass is the property of subatomic particles that make them respond to gravitational force. Physics texts or Wikipedia may have a better definition. Particles with mass "hold" momentum and energy. Mass is generally considered equivalent to amount because the stuff we want to know the amount of generally has mass. However, certain particles like photons (light) are not known to have mass.


What determines state of matter?

The different states (which are solids, liquids and gases) are determined by the amount of energy present in the system. Energy is found in several forms, but kinetic energy is the form that the state of matter takes on, especially when it is changed from one state of matter to another. The various states of matter are always in constant motion. In liquids and gases, the motion known as the Brownian motion occurs. This is where particles move randomly while suspended. Even in solids, the particles continue to move, but is a vibration around a fixed point, and is not as free as the liquids and gases. Hope that helped!! <(^_^)>


The kinetic theory of matter states that matter is made of particles whose speed is dependent on what?

The kinetic theory of matter states that matter is made of particles whose speed is dependent on their mass and temperature. The kinetic theory states that particles in matter are always in motion.


What is one property that all particles of matter have in common?

two properties that all paticles of matter have in common is that for liguid and gas move faster than solid. well, all particles have anitparticles, such as electron, its anitparticle is positron


How does the arrangement of particles in a suubtance affect the state of matter?

The arrangement of particles in a substance determines its state of matter. In solids, particles are tightly packed and have fixed positions, leading to a definite shape and volume. In liquids, particles are more loosely packed and can move past each other, resulting in a definite volume but not a definite shape. In gases, particles have a lot of free space and move freely, leading to neither a definite shape nor volume.

Where List three characteristics of particles of matter?

Particles of matter have mass, which determines their weight and affects their interactions with other particles. Particles of matter have volume, which determines the amount of space they occupy. Particles of matter are constantly in motion, vibrating or moving within a substance.


What are microscopic particles of matter that are smaller than molecules?

Which of the following determines the states of matter?

The states of matter are determined by the arrangement and movement of particles within a substance.


Why smoke consider as matter?

Because smoke contains microscopic particles of dust, ash and other substances.


Why smoke considered matter?

Because smoke contains microscopic particles of dust, ash and other substances.


Is matter submicroscopic?

Matter is generally not submicroscopic. Matter consists of atoms and molecules, which are microscopic in size. Submicroscopic entities typically refer to particles smaller than atoms, like subatomic particles such as protons, neutrons, and electrons.


A property of matter that determines how something feels?

The property of matter that determines how something feels is texture. Texture refers to the surface quality or feel of an object, such as smooth, rough, soft, or hard, based on the arrangement and size of its particles.


What is the measure of the average amount of motion in particles of matter called?

Tempiture


The amount of matter in an object is called what?

The amount of matter in an object is the fundamental property of the object. This is matter to weight.


Does a warm object have more particles than an identical object that is cooler?

No, it doesn't matter. The number of particles determines the mass of an object, not the temperature.


What is the relationship between the amount of space between particles and the state of the matter?

As the space changes between the particles, so does the state of matter.


Why does the state of matter depend on the motion of its particles?

The state of matter depends on the motion of its particles because the amount of kinetic energy the particles have determines how closely they are packed together and how fast they are moving. In solids, particles vibrate in fixed positions; in liquids, particles move more freely but are still close together; and in gases, particles move rapidly and have more space between them.
