Matter only comes in three forms; solid, liquid and gas. There is no other form of matter that allows atoms or molecules to move about freely.

What do scientists use to describe matter?

Matter is everything that makes up physical reality. It possesses mass, occupies specific locations in space, is affected by gravitation, and exists in four fundamental states as a solid, liquid, gas, or plasma. Its main components are atoms which are further divided into subatomic particles such as protons, neutrons, and electrons. Stars, planets, galaxies, as well as all living organisms, including ourselves, are made of matter.


What is the movement of atoms in a liquid during a temperature changes both increases and decreases?

As temperature increases, the atoms will move around more energetically - moving on average faster. Translational speeds increase, rotational speeds of the molecules increase, and the magnitude of vibrations of the atoms about their bonds in molecules increase As temperature decreases, the atoms move around less energetically - moving on average slower. Translational speeds decrease, rotational speeds of the molecules decrease, and the magnitude of vibrations of the atoms about their bonds in molecules decrease


How do scientists define matter?

Scientists define matter as anything that has mass and occupies space. Matter is composed of tiny particles called atoms and molecules, which interact to form various substances in the universe. It includes everything we can touch, see, and measure.


What happens to atoms or molecules when gas becomes liquid?

When a gas becomes a liquid, the atoms or molecules move closer together due to a decrease in temperature. This causes their kinetic energy to decrease, resulting in weaker intermolecular forces that hold them together in a more condensed state. The gas molecules lose their ability to move freely and take on a more organized arrangement.


Why can only four atoms of phosphorus produce only two molecules of diphosphorus trioxide even when there is an excess of oxygen atoms?

Because no matter how much oxygen there is, it is diphosphorus, so each molecule has two phosphorus atoms. Because no matter how much oxygen there is, it is diphosphorus, so each molecule has two phosphorus atoms.

State of matter in which atoms or molecules can move but remain close?

This state of matter is the liquid.


Is matter made out of solid liquid gass?

Matter is a combination of atoms, often molecules, that are in a solid, liquid, or gas phase.


What to learn about matter?

There are different states of matter that include solid, gas, liquid, and plasma. Atoms and molecules are made up of matter. Matter occupies space.


What make up matter?

So I had this question for school. I looked it up here and in the textbook. So for one thing matter can be in the form of; a solid, a liquid, or a gas (that is not what its made of tho). Matter is made up of molecules, and atoms. So don't put down on your final exam that matter is made up of solid, liquid, and gasses. MATTER IS MADE UP OF MOLECULES AND ATOMS!!


Similarities of liquid and gas?

They are both fundamental phases of matter. They can vary in form, and do not have their atoms or molecules packed closely together.


Are atoms and molecules found in all matter?

Matter is made up of atoms.


What is a non solid state of matter in which the atoms or molecules are free to travel past each other as in a gas or liquid?

would it be water,


What are minute particles of the matter?

Minute particles of matter are called atoms and molecules. Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter, composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Molecules are formed when atoms bond together. Together, atoms and molecules make up all substances in the universe.


How do atoms and molecules act in matter?

well technically atoms and molecules are something found in cells but when mixed with matter they expand and kinda make a new piece of matter.


What is related to the motion of atoms or molecules in a substance?

The motion of atoms or molecules in a substance is related to its temperature, with higher temperatures leading to increased motion. This motion affects the state of matter (solid, liquid, gas) that the substance is in, as well as its properties such as density and viscosity. In gases, the motion of atoms or molecules creates pressure.


Why is plasma different from solid liquid and gas?

Plasma is different because it is an ionized state of matter where atoms have lost electrons, resulting in a mixture of positive ions and free electrons. This gives plasma unique properties, such as being able to conduct electricity and respond to electromagnetic fields. Solid, liquid, and gas are composed of neutral atoms or molecules and do not exhibit the same behavior as plasma.
