in a solid, the molecules are more tightly packed than in a liquid, and they have very little room to move around. in a liquid, the molecules are a bit more free to move around, but not as much as in a gas. you freeze a liquid to make it a solid, and you heat up a solid to make it a liquid, or even a gas. i hope this was helpful enough.

Is the state of matter of a substance a chracteristic property?

There are three basic substance characteristics for matter and they are solid, liquid, and gas.


How are states of matter and physical properties the same?

States of matter and physical properties are related because physical properties are characteristics that can be used to describe the state of matter a substance is in. For example, if a substance has a fixed shape and volume, it is in a solid state of matter. The physical properties of a substance determine how it behaves in different states of matter.


What is a state of mater?

A state of matter refers to the distinct forms in which matter can exist, characterized by its physical properties. The main states of matter are solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Each state has its own unique characteristics based on the arrangement and movement of its particles.


What characteristics of matter can affect physical change?

Characteristics like temperature, pressure, and state (solid, liquid, gas) can affect physical changes in matter. Additionally, factors like size and shape of the particles can influence how matter responds to external conditions and undergoes physical changes.

What states of matter is gooey cornstarch in?

Gooey cornstarch is in a non-Newtonian state of matter called a suspension, in which the cornstarch particles are suspended in a liquid (typically water). This mixture has properties of both a solid and a liquid, exhibiting characteristics of both states of matter depending on the force applied to it.


Is there more facts about characteristics of solid matter?

Certainly! Some key characteristics of solid matter include having a definite shape and volume, particles that are closely packed together and vibrate in fixed positions, as well as high density and low compressibility. Solids also have strong intermolecular forces that hold their particles together in a fixed arrangement.


What are characteristics of gas matter?

gas matter's characteristics is GAS


What are the properties and characteristics of mixed state matter?

Mixed state matter refers to a substance that exhibits properties of both a solid and a liquid. This type of matter can have a variable shape and volume, and its particles are not arranged in a fixed pattern like in a solid, but they are still close together like in a liquid. Mixed state matter can flow like a liquid, but also maintain some structural rigidity like a solid.
