What are the four states of matter and describe them?

Answer 1

Solid: Molecules are close together and attracd to each, evenly space and are rigidly fix. Force is transimitted in a straight direction. A solid will retain its shape outside of its container. Gas: Molecules are losely arrange and are not rigidly attracted to each other. Force is transmitted equally and evenly in all directions when comfined. It will not retain the shape of it's contain if left unconfinned. It will assume the shape of its contianer. Liquid: Moeclues are similar to gas whose molecules are semi-rigid and evenly spaced. It transmitts force the sam as a gas and assume the shape of its container. Plasma: Acts similar as a gas but can be made to become rigid like a solid. It is what some would say is a combination of a solid and gas. Solid: Molecules are close together and attracd to each, evenly space and are rigidly fix.

Answer 2

solids= this is a state of matter with definite shape, volume., particles are in fixed positions and are strongly held together., at low temperature the nuclei of the atoms of solid vibrate about an equilibrium position but are trapped in their lattice positions., intermolecular forces are stronger than the average thermal energy of the system., long range radial and angular order are usually present in single crystal solids

liquids= a state of matter which has a definite volume but no definite shape., it only t akes the shape of the container it is in., its particles are not closely together and are partly free to move from each other., as the binding energy to the lattice site is overcome by thermal energy, the molecules in the liquid may slip past each other but maintain solid contact., some lomg range radial ordering persists, but usually only over the size of a few molecular diameters

gas= a state of matter with no definite volume and shape., its particles can move freely because of total disorder., gases have mean free paths that are larger than molecular diameters., they are usually isolated but occasionally have collisions

Answer 3

Solid - The particles are very close together.

Liquid - The particles are loose, but not free.

Gas - The particles are very loose and free.

Plasma- The sun and the stars
