In which state or states is matter compressable?

You can compress matter in any state because matter is mostly empty space. However, because it takes so much pressure to compress liquids and solids, they are said to be incompressible. ................. The gaseous state of matter is readily compressible.


Which state of matter has indefinite shape and is compressible?

Gas has an indefinite shape and is easily compressible. It assumes the shape and volume of whatever contains it, and particles can move past one another with lots of free space in between. It's in between the liquid and plasma matter states.


What transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles in matter?

Convection


Are gases the only form of matter that is compressible?

No. All forms of matter are compressible if you use sufficient pressure. Gases are the most easily compressible, but liquids are also compressible if you use high enough pressures. So are solids, believe it or not.


What determines a materials state of matter?

A material's state of matter is determined by the arrangement and movement of its particles at the molecular level. In solids, particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place; in liquids, particles are more spread out and can flow past each other; and in gases, particles are widely spaced and move freely. Temperature and pressure are key factors that can influence the state of matter.


Is expansion of matter due to expansion of particles rather than to increase particle spacing?

Expansion of matter is primarily due to an increase in the spacing between particles, rather than the expansion of individual particles themselves. When matter expands, the average distance between particles increases, leading to the overall expansion of the material. While individual particles may also exhibit some expansion due to thermal effects, the overall expansion of matter is more prominently driven by increased spacing between particles.


What is the relationship between the amount of space between particles and the state of the matter?

As the space changes between the particles, so does the state of matter.


Are the particles of matter moving what is between them?

Yes, the particles of matter are constantly moving. The movement is due to the kinetic energy they possess. This motion creates the space between particles in matter.


Does conduction involve the movement of matter?

Yes, conduction involves the transfer of heat through direct contact between particles in a material. The kinetic energy is transferred from the faster-moving particles to the slower-moving particles without the actual movement of matter.


If all matter is made of particles what is between the particles?

bonds


What is a transfer of heat by collisions between particles in matter?

Conduction is the transfer of heat by collisions between particles in matter. It occurs primarily in solids and is driven by temperature differences through the material. Heat is transferred from higher temperature regions to lower temperature regions through this process.


Matter is the material of what?

matter is the material of the atom!
