What does the three states of matter mean?

The three states of matter is solid, liquid, and gas and solid mean thick it has definite shape, mass, and other thing i forgotLiquid means that it has the shape of it's containerGas is the air we breathe


What does mass mean scientifically?

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. It is a fundamental property of an object that determines its inertia and gravitational attraction to other objects. The SI unit for mass is the kilogram (kg).


What does the word solid mean in science?

Solid is the phase of matter that refers to a substance that has a definite volume and shape. There is two different types, amorphous and crystalline. An amorphous solid is a solid that's particles are unorganized, an example is wax. A crystalline solid is a solid that's particles are organized into straight rows, an example is glass.


What are the three stages of matter?

The three stages of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. In the solid state, particles are tightly packed and have a fixed shape and volume. In the liquid state, particles are more loosely packed and flow easily, taking the shape of their container. In the gas state, particles are far apart and have neither a fixed shape nor volume.


What does it mean when a liquid has a definite volume but no definite shape?

It means that the liquid takes the shape of its container, but its volume remains constant. This property is characteristic of liquids, where the particles are able to flow and move easily but do not expand to fill the entire space of the container.

What state of matter has no definite shape and no definite value?

By "value" you mean "volume," yes? If so, the answer(s) are gas and plasma.


What does it mean if a state of matter has no definite shape?

Think of it this way: a solid will not form into its container. (ex. a brick wont fit in a container smaller than it) therefore it has a definite shape. A liquid will conform into a a container, so it it considered that forms of matter other than solids (like gases, liquids, and plasmas) have no definite shape.


What does liquid mean in science terms?

In science, liquid refers to a state of matter characterized by its ability to flow and take the shape of its container. Liquids have a definite volume but no definite shape. Examples include water, alcohol, and oil.


What is the part of matter?

Atoms make up matter. Inside of atoms are electrons (negitive charge), protons (positive charge), and nuetrons (no charge). If you mean the States of Matter . . . There are 3 main States of Matter. Solid, Liquid, & Gas. Solid: Particles are packed closely together, and solids have a definite shape and a definite volume. Liquid: Particles are loosely packed, have no definite shape but a definite volume. Gas: Particles are spread out, and have no definite shape and no definite volume. There is a 4th state of matter, Plasma, but that only occurs in very hot temperature. Like stars for example. P.S. Lava is liquid, NOT plasma, even though it is very hot!


What does do you have a solid mean?

matter with a definite shape and volume and has tightly packed particles that move mainly by vibrating


State of matter no shape or volume?

Do you mean no definite shape or volume? If so, then it would be a gas. A gas will take the shape of its container and the particles are spread out so it can be compressed allowing its volume to change. I also believe that a plasma would answer this question but a lot of the time, the first three states of matter are focused on.


What does liquid mean in science?

In science, liquid refers to a state of matter in which particles are close together but able to move past each other, leading to a fluid-like behavior. Liquids take the shape of their container, have a definite volume, and do not have a definite shape. Examples include water, milk, and oil.


Is shape a solid liquid or gas?

A shape is intangible, it's just an outline or configuration of something else. So it is neither a solid, liquid, or gas... it isn't matter.However, I do think you mean to say, "Which forms a definite shape: a solid, liquid, or gas?". In this case, only a solid has a definite shape. Liquids and gases take on the shape of its container, which can vary. Solids are the only state of matter that have their own shape, not dependent on a container.


What is by mean the tearm physical state of matter?

physical state defines the shape size and the form in which the matter exist in nature


What do solid mean?

Solid refers to a state of matter characterized by particles that are closely packed together and have a fixed shape and volume. Solids have a definite geometric shape and their particles vibrate in place. Some examples of solids include metals, wood, and ice.


What do gas mean?

No definite volume or shape.
