What state of matter has a size that can change depending upon the container in which it is placed?
The state of matter that can change its size depending on the container is gas. Gas particles are not held together closely and move freely within the container, allowing them to expand or contract to fill the available space.
What are the three different types of matter?
The three different types of matter are solids, liquids, and gases. Solids have a definite shape and volume, liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither a definite shape nor volume and expand to fill their container.
How can heat cause matter to contract?
The application of heat energy usually causes matter to expand, not contract.There one or two exceptions, eg. water (as ice) contracts as you melt the ice.
Gases are the only state of matter than can?
Gases are the only state of matter that can expand to fill the entire volume of a container, regardless of its size or shape. This is because gas particles have a lot of kinetic energy and are far apart from each other, allowing them to move freely and fill the available space.
Which state of matter is most affected by the shape of it container?
Gas, then liquid, and finally solid. Gases have the weakes intramolecular forces of attraction (the forces that hold molecules of a substance together), and therefore have the most freedom to move about.
What state of matter has a size that can change depending upon the container in which it is placed?
The state of matter that can change its size depending on the container is gas. Gas particles are not held together closely and move freely within the container, allowing them to expand or contract to fill the available space.
What matter expand and contract?
explain how temperature affects matter using the words contract and expand
Does plasma have a fixed shape or volume?
Plasma does not have a fixed shape or volume as it is the fourth state of matter composed of ionized gases. Plasma takes the shape of its container and can expand or contract depending on external factors such as pressure and temperature.
Does matter expand or contract when it is heated?
Expand
Does matter expand or contract when it's heated?
Expand
Does matter contract or expand when heated?
Matter expands when it is heated.
What will matter in a gaseous state do to fill its container?
Gases will expand to fill their containers.
What will matter in a gas state do?
It will expand to fill the container and change shape to conform to the interior of the container.
How does matter react to cooling?
Cold causes matter to contract. Heat causes matter to expand.
What is a form of matter without a definite shape or volume?
A gas is a form of matter that does not have a definite shape or volume. Gases expand to fill the container they are in and take the shape of the container.
What phase of matter has its volume determined by its container?
A gas. Gas will expand to fill the available space.
Matter phase in which a substance will take on the shape of its container but not expand to fill the containe?
liquid phase
