Describe the states of matter

Answer 1

Solid: atoms/molecules are packed tightly together

Liquid: atoms/molecules are close but looser than a solid which gives them the ability to move more.

Gas: atoms/molecules are further apart from one another and have more energy letting them move around as they please.

Plasma: same as gas except the atoms/molecules have a charge (positive or negative) to them.

Answer 2

The following link provides access to a list of the elements in the earth's crust by order of their abundance. Your question can be resolved by following the links for any elements for which you may not know their state of matter under ordinary conditions.

Answer 3

No, a compound is a pure substance made up of two or more elements chemically combined (by chemical bonds). State of matter refers whether the substance is in the solid, liquid or gaseous state. So they are different terms.

Answer 4

I will assume you mean the "traditional three" states of matter - solid, liquid, and gaseous. Many compounds, like water or carbon dioxide, can exist in all three states of matter; but in some compounds - especially those with bigger molecules - those molecules will be destroyed when heated.

Answer 5

States of matter are solid, liquid and gas

Answer 6

Chemical elements are solids, liquids or gases. Compounds are also solids, liquids or gases.
