Essentially ALL substances do. They just don't all do it within the narrow range

of temperatures and pressures where we're comfortable, the way water does.

But solid oxygen, liquid gold, and iron vapor are not supernatural miracles.

Does the void have substance?

The void (if it exists) does not, by definition, have substance. It cannot contain matter, energy, or any other form thereof. A null void is defined and described by this exact lacking.


What are other substances that exist in all the three states of matter?

(*There are four, or technically five states of matter, including solid, liquid, gas, and plasma, and the exotic Einstein-Bose condensates.)On the surface of Earth, the most common substance is water, which has a comparatively narrow range of temperatures separating its phases: ice below 0 degrees Celsius, water from 0 to 100 degrees Celsius, and steam above 100 degrees Celsius. Almost every substance has a 'triple point' where at the correct temperature and pressure it exists in all three states at once (solid, liquid gas). Further to that, at the 'critical point' there exists no distinct phase boundaries for a substance.


When matter exists as a gas it is referred to as a state or what?

Yes, it simply means the matter is in a gaseous state. Its other states are liquid and solid. If matter goes from the gas to the liquid state, it's called condensation. If it goes from gas to solid, it's called deposition. In the gaseous state, matter does not have a fixed shape or volume.


How would you difine matter?

Matter refers to anything that takes up space and has mass. It is made up of atoms and molecules that interact with each other through various forces of nature, such as gravity and electromagnetism. Matter exists in different states - solid, liquid, gas, and plasma - depending on the arrangement and movement of its particles.


What properties of a substance determines how that substance will react when combined with other substances?

properties of matter that determine how a substance reacts with other substances


What did Aristotle mean by substance?

Aristotle viewed substance as the underlying essence or nature of an individual thing, which gives it its identity and defines its existence. Substance represents the fundamental reality that exists independently of everything else, serving as the basis for all other properties and characteristics of an object.


Is water the only substance on earth that exists in three states of matter?

Yes. Liquid water. Solid, ice. Gas, steam vapor. Because when its melting it turns into water and its still partly forzen (in ice form), and the steam vapor bcuz its so cold.


Name a substance other than water that exists in solid liquid and gas?

Any substance can be a liquid, solid or gas, provided it has the right amount of energy; water is the only one to naturally occur in all three states on Earth, though.


What state of matter that exists inside the sun and other stars called?

The state of matter that exists inside the sun and other stars is called plasma. Plasma is a superheated state of matter in which atoms are stripped of their electrons, resulting in a soup of ions and free electrons.


How much matter does a mineral have?

The amount of matter in a mineral, or any other substance, is measured as its mass.


Is a mixture a state of matter?

A mixture is not a state of matter. A mixture is a combination of different substances that are physically combined but not chemically bonded, such as a solution or a heterogeneous mixture. States of matter refer to the physical forms that a substance can exist in, such as solid, liquid, or gas.
