The state of matter 1- having definite shape and definite volume issolid. 2- having indefinite shape but definite volume is liquid. and 3- having indefinite shape and indefinite volume is gas, while super heated gas having nuclei in a sea of electrons is plasma,the 4th state of matter the huge amount of plasma is in our nearby, the sun.

Materials that can flow to fit their containers include?
gasses, liquids and solids
Explain the particle arrangement in solids liquids and gasses and energy associate with each phase?
Solids have closely-packed molecules, and very little energy Liquids have loosely-packed molecules and some energy, and gasses have very lose, free molecules, and very high energy.
How are gasses and liquids similar in shape and volume?
ANSWER unlike solids, both liquids and gases can change their shape to fit the container in which they are held. however, gases can also change volume unlike liquids.
Kind of science that studies all forms of matter?
The study of matter (solids, liquids, and gasses) falls under the category of physical science.
What is the change of Solids to liquids to solids again called?
Solids to Liquids (Melting) Liquids turning back into a Solid (Freezing) ((SCF))
Who invented gasses?
Nobody invented gasses. Gasses are one of the four naturally occurring states of matter: * Gasses * Liquids * Solids * Plasmas
Are gasses and liquids both concidered a fluid?
Fluids are a subset of the phases of matter and include liquids, gases, plasmas and, to some extent, plastic solids.
Does a solid retains shape or takes the shape of its container?
Solids retain their shape. It is liquids, gasses, and plasmas that take the shape of their containers.
What state of matter are helium and hydrogen?
A standard temperature and pressure, they are gasses. However under different temperatures and pressures they can be plasmas, liquids and solids.
Why are solids less effected by pressure than liquids or gases?
Solids are less changed in volume by pressure than fluids (liquids or gasses or plasmas) because the atoms or molecules in solids are more closely bound by the chemical bonds that form them. JCF
Do solids take up the shape of a container?
No. Solids are resistant to changes in both shape and volume.
What is made up of particles?
Matter. Everything. Gases,Liquids,Solids and Plasmas.
Is molecule movement greater in liquids or gases?
molecules move more in gasses gasses>liquids>solids
What do solids liquids and gases depend on?
solids, liquids, and gasses, all depend on how many atoms are in that element.
What is a non-liquid?
Any substance that is not a liquid is a nonliquid. These include solids and gasses (also plasmas)
What are the four basic properties of matter?
The four basic properties of matter are mass, volume, weight, and density.
Are gasses matter?
Yes. The three types of matter are solids, liquids, and gasses.
