What else can I help you with?
Which phases of matter have definite volume?
solids and liquids
What phases are able to be compressed?
The phases that can be compressed are typically the gaseous and vaporous phases of matter. Liquids and solids generally cannot be compressed as easily due to their closely packed molecules.
What happens to solids at very high pressure?
At very high pressure, solids can undergo phase transitions to form new crystal structures or even change into different phases of matter, such as becoming amorphous or liquid-like. The atoms or molecules in the solid are compressed together more closely, leading to changes in their arrangement and properties.
Define the 2 different types of soilds?
Crystalline solids have a well-ordered, repeating internal structure with distinct melting points and sharp boundaries between phases. Amorphous solids lack a regular internal structure and have a disordered arrangement of particles, resulting in gradual softening upon heating and no distinct melting point.
What phase of matter is glass in?
If you include only the three "classical" phases of matter, it's considered a liquid. However, it's now agreed that there are many more phases (10+), and glass is it's own state of matter.
Which phases of matter have definite volume?
solids and liquids
What is meant by ordering in solids?
In considering the phases of matter, what is meant by ordering ?
Can all solids turn into gases?
Yes. Any substance can be in any of the four phases.
What phases are able to be compressed?
The phases that can be compressed are typically the gaseous and vaporous phases of matter. Liquids and solids generally cannot be compressed as easily due to their closely packed molecules.
Why solids and liquids and gasses differ in shapes?
They show differed behaviour because they are three different phases of the matter.
Are solid liquid and gas phases or substances?
Solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas are all states of matter. Hopefully that helps.
What are the charectaristics of solids?
Solids are one of the four phases of matter (the others being liquid, gas, and plasma). Solid particles are densely packed and rigid, making them have a definite shape unlike the other phases of matter. They have little space to move which is why it is hard for you to make your hand pass through a table. They also do not pressurize well.
In what way are liquids and solids alike?
Liquids and solids are both considered condensed phases of matter because their particles are packed closely together. They both have a definite volume and maintain their shape, with solids having a fixed shape whereas liquids take the shape of their container.
What properties are common to both solid and liquid?
Solids and liquids both have definite volume. They are also both considered to be condensed phases of matter. Additionally, solids and liquids exhibit molecular motion, although the degree of motion is higher in liquids compared to solids.
What are the 3 classes of matter?
The 3 "Classes of Matter" are Elements, Compounds, and mixtures. Commonly mistaken for the 3 "Phases of Matter" which are solids, liquids, and gases.
What has the author F Hulliger written?
F. Hulliger has written: 'Structural chemistry of layer-type phases' -- subject(s): Layer structure (Solids)
If the phases of matter are arranged in order of increasing density then what would the arrangement be?
If phases of matter are arranged in order of increasing density, it would be gas, liquid, and then solid. This is because gases have the lowest density as particles are far apart, while solids have the highest density due to particles being tightly packed.
