It has a definite volume and shape and cannot be compressed.
More information:
There are three types of matter, gas, liquid and solid. Gas matter have no definite volume, no definite shape and can be compressed. Liquid matter has a definite volume, no definite shape and cannot be compressed. Solid matter has a definite volume, a definite shape and cannot be compressed.
This is in the 'Cycles' Science subject, learnt normally at Primary/Grade 3/4 in Primary/Elementary schools.
Detailed information:
Gas:
Gas particles are very far apart from each other, mainly the reason why they can move freely everywhere.
Liquid:
Liquid particles are next to each other, they slide past each other, however, they cannot move freely, unlike gas particles.
Solid:
Solid particles are the most arranged particles of all. They can only shake a little in their current position, and cannot move around at all.
I hope this information will be helpful to you!!!:)
P.S. I am just a primary 5 student, eleven years old studying in a Singapore top primary school. My answer may not be very accurate, but all the same I hope it will help you/your child in his/her studies.
What else can I help you with?
What state of matter is a pencil?
A pencil is in the solid state of matter.
What are the properties and characteristics of mixed state matter?
Mixed state matter refers to a substance that exhibits properties of both a solid and a liquid. This type of matter can have a variable shape and volume, and its particles are not arranged in a fixed pattern like in a solid, but they are still close together like in a liquid. Mixed state matter can flow like a liquid, but also maintain some structural rigidity like a solid.
Ice in a glass represents what state of matter?
is ice an example of the liqiud state of matter?
Which state of matter is a sponge in?
A sponge is usually in a solid state of matter.
Why three states of matter arise?
The three states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) arise due to differences in the arrangement and movement of particles. In a solid, particles are closely packed and vibrate in fixed positions. In a liquid, particles are more spread out and can move past each other. In a gas, particles are very far apart and move freely.
What are some characteristics of matter?
Solid, liquid, and gas.
Matter that has parts with different characteristics are called n properties?
Heterogeneous matter has parts with different characteristics.
Is the state of matter of a substance a chracteristic property?
There are three basic substance characteristics for matter and they are solid, liquid, and gas.
How are states of matter and physical properties the same?
States of matter and physical properties are related because physical properties are characteristics that can be used to describe the state of matter a substance is in. For example, if a substance has a fixed shape and volume, it is in a solid state of matter. The physical properties of a substance determine how it behaves in different states of matter.
What is a state of mater?
A state of matter refers to the distinct forms in which matter can exist, characterized by its physical properties. The main states of matter are solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Each state has its own unique characteristics based on the arrangement and movement of its particles.
What characteristics of matter can affect physical change?
Characteristics like temperature, pressure, and state (solid, liquid, gas) can affect physical changes in matter. Additionally, factors like size and shape of the particles can influence how matter responds to external conditions and undergoes physical changes.
What state of matter is a pencil?
A pencil is in the solid state of matter.
Is glue matter?
Yes, glue is a matter
What are characteristics of gas matter?
gas matter's characteristics is GAS
What states of matter is gooey cornstarch in?
Gooey cornstarch is in a non-Newtonian state of matter called a suspension, in which the cornstarch particles are suspended in a liquid (typically water). This mixture has properties of both a solid and a liquid, exhibiting characteristics of both states of matter depending on the force applied to it.
Is there more facts about characteristics of solid matter?
Certainly! Some key characteristics of solid matter include having a definite shape and volume, particles that are closely packed together and vibrate in fixed positions, as well as high density and low compressibility. Solids also have strong intermolecular forces that hold their particles together in a fixed arrangement.
What are the properties and characteristics of mixed state matter?
Mixed state matter refers to a substance that exhibits properties of both a solid and a liquid. This type of matter can have a variable shape and volume, and its particles are not arranged in a fixed pattern like in a solid, but they are still close together like in a liquid. Mixed state matter can flow like a liquid, but also maintain some structural rigidity like a solid.
