State of matter having no definite shape?

Gases have no defined shape or volume. The easiest way to show this is that gas' can be compressed(squished down) into small spaces, and when they are released from the container they spread out (diffuse) as much as possible. Think of spraying a can of deoderant, the gas is compressed in the can and when you release it the gas will go everywhere...this also shows that the gas has no definite shape, it will take the shape of the container that its in. Going back to the earlier example, gas will take the shape of the deoderant can that's its in, but when released it will change and go everyhwere, giving it no definite shape.


What is an activity to show sublimation?

Watch dry ice turn into carbon dioxide gas without going through a liquid stage.


Can a solid be a fluid?

No. However, there are substances that don't fit neatly into a solid/liquid dichotomy. Glasses, for example, are much more like solids than they are like liquids, but they do have some liquid-like characteristics. Liquid crystals are liquids that show some solid-like characteristics. Viscoelastic materials (Silly Putty is probably the best known example) are somewhere in between.


What are the two liquids that show upper meniscus?

Mercury and water are two liquids that show an upper meniscus when measured in a graduated cylinder or other narrow container. This means that the liquid forms a concave shape at the surface where it meets the container's walls.

What are the three properties of liquid?

The basic properties of any liquid are that it has a definite volume, it takes the shape of its container, it is not compressible and its elements and molecules are not in fixed positions. Liquids, in general, show expansion when they are heated. Liquids also, in general, will contract when they are cooled. Unlike solids, two liquids will mix together and diffuse into each other to make a new type of liquid. A liquid will turn into a gas or a solid, depending upon the forces exerted on it. A liquid heated to a high enough temperature will vaporize and turn into a gas. A liquid cooled far enough will solidify.


What are the characteristic of a liquid?

the answer to that question is..................... oh yea! it has a fixed mass and volume BUT NO SET SHAPE


What will happen to the state of the substance the atomic or molecular activity and the shape of the graph when thermal energy is added?

When thermal energy is added to a substance, the atomic or molecular activity will increase, leading to higher kinetic energy of the particles. This results in the substance changing states from solid to liquid, and then to gas, if the temperature continues to rise. The shape of the graph will show an increase in temperature with corresponding changes in state, known as phase transitions.

What will happen to happen to the state of the substance the atomic or molecular activity and the shape of the graph when thermal energy is added?

When you add thermal energy you are going to do two things: you will cause a progressive change of phase from solid to liquid to gas to plasma, and you will raise the temperature causing increased atomic/molecular activity. Unless you identify the axes of the graph, I don't know what graph you are talking about and can't talk about the shape of whatever it is you are graphing.


What influences physical activity?

Okay well If A Woman is influencing a man to have physical activity then she might "Flash" or do pick up lines or seduce. a man might influence a woman for physical activity might be by tightening his jeans to show the outer shape of his "package" i hope this helps enjoy (:


Show you what the math shape pentagon looks like?

What happened to the solid substance in the energy box as most heat was added. Describe what activity in the molecules and the shape of the graph?

As more heat was added, the solid substance melted into a liquid and then evaporated into a gas. The molecules in the substance gained energy, vibrated more vigorously, and eventually overcame the intermolecular forces holding them together as a solid. The graph would show an initial increase in temperature as the solid heated up, followed by a plateau during the phase change from solid to liquid, and then another increase as the liquid turned into a gas.
