High density is a characteristic of a Gas. When something has a high density it means there is a lot of a certain gas, in one area.

What is the characteristics of metal makes it an appropriate roofing material it is shiny it has high density it can be hammered into sheets or it can be drawn into fine wire?

The fact that it can be hammered into sheets would seem to be the most relevant characteristic in this case.


Why is plasma the most common state of matter?

There were three basic states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. As we understood more about the nature of the world and how things in it worked, we saw that the three states of matter were basically a function of temperature. But at elevated temperatures, the term "gas" doesn't really apply. We had to think of something else, and plasma was the name we applied as a logical extension of the other three states of matter. We needed a fourth state of matter to describe things on the sun or in an electric arc. Atoms stripped of some or all of their electrons and existing without them owing to extrordinarily high temperatures (energies) are in a state called a plasma. Wikipedia has additional information on this state of matter, and a link is provided.


Do gases have low or high density?

Gasses have an incredibly low density, less than a liquid or a solid.


Does density measure too high or low if water splashes out of the graduated cylinder?

This would make the experimental results for density erroneously higher.


What are the three parts of the particle theory?

There are 4 states of matter in the particle theory but only 3 are taught at keystage 3 and 4 in UK schools (high school level in the US).These three are Solid, Liquid and Gas.The fourth state of matter is plasma.

Which states of matter has low density high density and quite high density?

You are asking for comparatives. Each state can be any when compared to another state except the extremes. Liquid or gas either lower or higher depending on what you compare it to.


Why is solid the densest state of matter?

Solids tend to be the densest state of matter because the particles are tightly packed together in a fixed arrangement, leading to minimal empty space between them. This close proximity of particles results in a high mass per unit volume, giving solids their characteristic density.


What is the matter of an object with a high density?

This is a solid.


High or low we're in the business of matter?

Density


What matter has a high density and an indefinite shape?

This is a liquid.


Which statement best compares the density among the three states of matter?

In general, the solid state has the highest density due to the closely packed arrangement of particles. Liquids have a lower density compared to solids because particles are more spread out. Gases have the lowest density as their particles are far apart and can move freely.


Use words and diagram to show high density vs low density?

high density have more matter per unit of volume (a box with a lot of circles) low has fewer matter per unit volume (a box with less circles)


Is plasma matter?

Yes, plasma is generally defined as the 4th state of matter, coming next to solid > liquid > gas > plasma. It is mostly used for properties of matter at extreme high temperature and high density. (nuclear and astro-physics)


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.


How do you seprate mixtures?

You can use a centrifuge machine which spins small test tubes at very high speeds causing the lower density matter to rise and the higher density matter to sink. This leaves you with a density gradient of the different types of matter in your mixture.


Does a substance having high optical density have to have a high physical density?

It's not necessary. If a compound has high optical density, it means that it absorbs more light at the given wavelength than some reference compound. There is no simple relation between density of matter and optical density. Even more I am pretty sure you can find a lot of compounds with lower densities (of matter) but having high optical density.


What gives gray matter and white matter its characteristic color?

Gray matter gets its characteristic color from the presence of neuronal cell bodies, dendrites, and unmyelinated axons, which contain a high density of cell nuclei and other cellular components. In contrast, white matter appears white due to the abundance of myelinated axons, which are insulated by myelin sheaths made of lipids that reflect light. This difference in composition is what ultimately gives each type of brain tissue its distinct color.
