There are three states of matter:

* Solid (eg. ice)

* Liquid (eg. water)

* Gas (eg. steam)

When a chemical change occurs what do you know about the amount of matter in the new substances What is this known as?

In a chemical change, the amount of matter in the new substances remains constant. This is known as the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, only rearranged.


In which state of matter do the molecules have the most energy?

The gas state has the most energy out of all three states because of how freely the molecules are moving, and able to move. In a solid, the molecules are forced together, with minimal space to move. In a liquid, the molecules are able to move a considerable space, but not as freely as gas. This answer is based on the "basic" three states of matter - solids, liquids and gases. There are other states of matter, and a plasma is a state of extreme energy. For instance, a star like our sun is a big ball of plasma. And plasma is a collection of atoms that have so much thermal energy that all their electrons have been "boiled off" due to extreme heating. Heat a solid, it liquifies (sublimatin excepted). Heat a liquid, it boils. Heat a gas sufficiently, and it will shed its electrons and become a superheated - and highly energetic - substance. It will become a plasma. Note that there are other states of matter, but they don't involve extremely high energies.


What do you know about corpuscular nature of matter?

The corpuscular nature of matter refers to the concept that matter is made up of tiny particles known as corpuscles or atoms. This theory helped pave the way for the development of modern atomic theory, which states that all matter is composed of small, indivisible particles. The idea of the corpuscular nature of matter was popularized by scientists like Democritus and John Dalton.


What state of matter has indefinate volume and high compressibility?

Many people know about the many states that all matter on earth can take. From solid to liquid and from gas to plasma, all of them have different properties which are what distinguishes one from the other. The gas state, for example is a state in which the matter has indefinite shape and volume, it also has a very low density and a high compressibility.


What is a sentence for What is the matter?

'What is the matter' is a question all by itself and needs a question mark at the end. What is the matter with Joe? I don't know what is the matter with Joe.

What are three charictaristic property's of matter?

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. Now since it has mass and volume it has a density. The density again can lead to various states and these states lets us know the freezing and boiling points of matter. Thus density, boiling point and freezing point are the boiling point of matter.


What are the Differrences in three forms of matter?

As we all know d 3 forms of matter,Solid Liquid and Gas,the difference between these 3 is the distance between the molecules of matter, the order of dist between these states is as below solid<liquid<gas.

The 2 kinds of matter?

I don't know about KINDS of matter, but there are three STATES: 1. Solid (ex. ice cube) 2. Liquid (ex. water, as in a lake, ocean, puddle, etc.) 3. Gaseous (ex. water vapor in the atmosphere) they discovered a fourth, plasma, it is kind of like a mix of gas and liquid


Why is that the changes of matter important?

Liquid is important because we need to drink liquid water, and if water was always solid, humans would never survive. Plus, if liquid wasn't a state of matter, humans wouldn't be able to exist because about 70% of the human body is liquid.


How many states of matter are there one two three or four?

I know of 7 states of matter, although of those, there are only 4 that you would be likely to encounter here on Earth. The common phases of matter are solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. The more unusual phases are degenerate matter (found in neutron stars) and Bose-Einstein condensates (found in the laboratory only), and the super-fluid phase of liquid helium, also found only in the laboratory.
