What is the most condensed state of matter?

luiquid is the most compact state of matter


What is the most dense state of matter to the least dense including solids liquids gases and plasmas?

The order is: - solid (the densest) - liquid - gas - plasma


How do gases behave?

Gases - force of attraction is very weak - the particles in gases have a lot of space in between them - move very freely - gases are the least dense (from solids and liquids) - particles in gases are very "excited" and move around a lot.


What do solution and colloid have in common?

They are all something in something else. Suspensions are colloids. Colloids are something small dispersed in something else - solids in liquids (a suspension), gases in liquids, gases in solids etc etc Solutions are one phase - a liquid, but at least 2 compounds make up that phase.

Why frying pan does not expand on heating?

Every pan in general expands at least several nanometers in diameter when heated. Heat in general causes expansion of all materials.


Does gold conduct heat?

All things expand when they are heated. Gases expand the most, liquids less than gasses, and solids expand the least. Yes they do. Take metal for example it expands when it gets hot.


What are the least reactive noble gases or metalloids?

noble gases are least reactive


In which state of matter do particles have the most energyExplain your answer?

The particles in gaseous state has the most energy. The particles in gases are far away and the least forces of attraction. Hence they vibrate most and have the highest energy. The least will be for solids for exactly opposite reason.


Tell about the alignment of particles in a gas and the energy they posses?

that's the difference between the three stages. solids are very ordered in squares. liquids are the same but they slide past each other. gases have absolutly no order in the least. their energy is always higher than that of liquids or solids


Are gases more dense than solids?

No, gasses are far less dense that solids. Gasses are the least dense of the three common states of matter.


Why liquids are less common than other two states of matter on earth?

Liquids are less common than solids and gases on Earth because of the specific conditions required for them to exist. Liquids require a specific range of temperature and pressure to be present. Additionally, liquids can easily change into gases due to the mobility and energy of their particles, which further decreases their prevalence compared to solids and gases.
