What states of matter can flow a.liquids b.gases c.solids d.all of the above?

b. gases. Gases are the only state of matter that can flow freely and take the shape of their container due to the minimal forces of attraction between their particles. Liquids can also flow but have more intermolecular attraction than gases, while solids have fixed shapes and cannot flow.


How is density of matter affected by the state of matter?

The density of matter can vary depending on the state of matter. In general, solids are more dense than liquids, and liquids are more dense than gases. This is because the particles are more closely packed together in solids compared to liquids and gases, leading to higher density.


What does densest mean for science?

solids are the densest state of matter. The molecules in solids are more tightly packed than either liquids or gases


Which state of matter cannot be compressed?

Solids and liquids are difficult compress. Gases, however, are easy; they respond to changes in temperature and volume.


Do plants produce gases other than oxygen?

Living plants only produce oxygen. Dead plant matter, when it decays, can produce methane, hydrogen sulfide, and other interesting gases.


How fast is plasma compared to other states of matter?

Plasma is the fastest state of matter because its particles move at very high speeds, much faster than those in solids, liquids, and gases.


Is a solid substance not considered matter?

of course it is. All substances are matter.


Why are liquids better than gases?

Liquids are not better than gases; this depends only on the desired applications.


How do the densities of solid liquids and gases compare?

The density of solid substances is generally higher than that of liquids, which in turn are higher than gases. This is because the particles in a solid are tightly packed together, while in a liquid they are more spread out, and in a gas, they are far apart.
