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.
A solid has 3 main characteristics. They are:
These are the characteristics of solids.
the absence of particles moving. the particles are compacted together on a solid than on a liquid.
A solid maintains its size and shape.
incompressibility
Liquids have no defined shape.
A solid has a definited shape and volume.
Definite shape
Heterogeneous matter has parts with different characteristics.
less dense than solid but denser than gas no definite shape
The characteristics of the 3 states of matter would be solid is hard, not easily formed. Liquid is free flowing, can easily be put into different shapes if put into a vase, bowl, etc. Gas is invisible and can not be contained.
of course it is. All substances are matter.
Platinum's state of matter at room temperature would be a solid.
Solid, liquid, and gas.
has a definite volume and shape
Heterogeneous matter has parts with different characteristics.
There are three basic substance characteristics for matter and they are solid, liquid, and gas.
less dense than solid but denser than gas no definite shape
The characteristics of a solid are incompressibility, rigidity and mechanical strength. The molecules, atoms or ions in solids are closely packed.
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.
The characteristics of the 3 states of matter would be solid is hard, not easily formed. Liquid is free flowing, can easily be put into different shapes if put into a vase, bowl, etc. Gas is invisible and can not be contained.
gas matter's characteristics is GAS
The solid matter would get wet!
of course it is. All substances are matter.
