You can force gas into a smaller volume, and it will expand to fill any container you put it in.
Talking about the three "classical" states of matter, solids and liquids have a more or less fixed volume - they can be considered incompressible for most practical purposes - whereas a gas will fill up any container where you put it in.
the states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.
Any gas, liquid or solid can exist in all states of matter.
because they are the four forms or states that matter can be in
There are 3 basic states of matter Solid Liquid Gas
Talking about the three "classical" states of matter, solids and liquids have a more or less fixed volume - they can be considered incompressible for most practical purposes - whereas a gas will fill up any container where you put it in.
Solids are considered incompressible because their particles are already tightly packed and do not easily compress together due to their fixed positions and strong intermolecular forces. Liquids and gases are compressible because their particles have more freedom to move and can be compressed closer together.
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.
The smaller states wanted equal representation in Congress with the larger states.
Because each state gets two senator's no matter how big they are so they get the same amount of voice as the larger states.
Most matter, when cooled, the molecules in the matter slow down, therefore they contract, or become smaller, more dence. In some cases it may even change states( liquid to a solid, things like tht)
why the smaller states have difficulties trading with the larger states
12 states are smaller than tennese
48 states are smaller than Colorado.
Boyle's law is not applicable on liquid because the pressure use of that applied on the liquid is the one to be measured not the liquid itself
Smaller states were angered by the Virginia plane, because in the VA plan, the smaller states got less votes in the House of Representatives.
The three states (or "phases") of matter are: Solid Liquid Gas Sometimes a fourth : Plasma is added to the previous list. The Solid phase is characterized by matter being incompressible (to any great extent) often the most dense phase (highest specific density or mass per volume) though there are certain important exceptions such as sulfur and water. Teh solid phase can often exhibit crystaline structure. Teh liqud phase is characterized by matter flowing; also fairly incompressible however the liqud phase does not have crystaline structure. The gaseous phase is the least dense of the 3 common phases with molecules (or atoms) og material spread relatively thinly in a given volume. Gases can easily be compressed, they show no crystaline structure. In the plasma phase one or more electrons has been taken off each constituent atom or molecule. This is usually at very high temperatures.
