What are the types of matter?

In total, there are five states of matter: 1. superconductor and superfluid 2. solid 3. liquid 4. gas 5. plamsa Superconductors and superfluids were discovered on 2009 when a scientist cooled helium so far that it began to creep up the walls of a glass container. Plasma is gas that is heated to the point the gas is ionized and the electrons are stripped from the atom.


Can an individual atom be a solid liquid or gas?

An individual atom cannot be a solid, liquid, or gas. These states of matter refer to the arrangement and movement of multiple atoms. Atoms themselves are the building blocks of matter and can only exist in these states when they come together in larger quantities.


What is the difference between paraffin oil and oil?

Paraffin oil is a type of mineral oil that is commonly used for lubrication and as a laxative. Oil, on the other hand, is a general term that can refer to various substances that are liquid at room temperature, including vegetable oils, essential oils, and mineral oils like paraffin oil.


What are the different characteristic of matter?

Matter can be classified as a pure substance or a mixture. Pure substances are made of only one type of atom or molecule, while mixtures contain two or more different substances physically combined. Matter also has properties like mass, volume, and density, and can exist in different states - solid, liquid, gas, or plasma - depending on the arrangement of its particles.


Is carbon a liquid solid or gas?

if you mean carbondioxide, then it's state is meant to me gas.Answeri think carbon i s gasAnswerthe people above me are fails, carbon is a solid and is a nonmetal. it is able to form strong covalent bond with other carbon hence gives it a high melting point. common carbon is graphite and diamond.

What is the smallest particle that makes up all matter solid or liquid or gas?

The smallest particle that makes up all matter is called an atom. Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. They combine to form molecules, which make up all substances in solid, liquid, and gas states.
