Objects remain the same size and structure in a solid state. In solids, particles are closely packed together in a fixed arrangement, which gives them a definite shape and volume. In contrast, liquids and gases can change shape and volume based on their container.

When a puddle of water evaporates does it change into a new kind of matter?

Water remain water, only the state of matter is changed from liquid to solid.


What is the state of matter in which particles are close to each other but do not remain in a fixed position is?

The state of matter you are referring to is called the liquid state. In liquids, particles have more freedom of movement compared to solids but are still close together, allowing them to flow and take the shape of the container they are in.


What can occur when matter changes state?

when matter changes state either evolution or absorption of enrgy occurs for example when a solid changes to liquid or a liquid changes to gas energy is absorbed and in case of conversion of gas to liquid or liquid to solid enrgy is liberated....


When the physical properties of matter change the matter itself does not?

When physical properties of matter change, the composition and identity of the matter remain the same. These changes only affect characteristics like color, shape, or state of matter, not the actual substance itself. For example, when ice melts into water, the substance remains H2O, but its physical state changes from solid to liquid.


Why does solid water (ice) float when placed in liquid water?

Solid water (ice) floats on liquid water because of its lower density. When water freezes, its molecules arrange in a hexagonal lattice structure that occupies more space than in the liquid state, resulting in a decrease in density. This lower density allows ice to remain buoyant and float on the surface of liquid water.

Will an object's mass change if taken to space?

No, an objects mass will remain the same no matter where it is. (Its weight will however vary)

Which matter remains liquid at room temperature?

Mercury is the only metal that remains liquid at room temperature.


What happens if an objects density and a liquids density are equal?

If an object's density is equal to that of a liquid, the object will be neutrally buoyant and it will neither sink nor float in the liquid. This means the object will remain suspended in the liquid at a constant depth.


Which state of the three states of matter is the volume most affect?

A solid will remain the same volume and shape A liquid will remain the same volume but change shape to its container A gas will expand its volume to fill its container entirely


Why solid have a definite shape?

Some solids such as crystals form along atomic bonds.


Can water remain water below liquid?

Water remains water no matter what state it is in, we just call it ice when it becomes a solid. However, you can keep water a liquid below it's freezing point by super cooling it. Another cool fact is if you cool water below freezing and it is still a liquid, shake it and it will start to freeze in a matter of seconds.
