Question

compare the propertiies of matter

Answer 1

Matter exists in 4 states that can be commonly observed including solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. There is a fifth state of matter that occurs at extremely cold temperatures called the Bose-Einstein condensate. However, the Bose-Einstein condensate is difficult to show because it occurs only at extremely low temperatures that are nonexistent on the Earth’s surface. We suggest that you tell students that they will see only four states of matter and observing Bose-Einstein condensate requires special equipment.

Each state has its own special characteristics.

SOLID STATE:
Characterized by: (1) definite shape, (2) definite volume, (3) higher density than liquids, and (4) very slight contraction and expansion.

LIQUID STATE:
Characterized by: (1) lack of a definite shape, (2) definite volume, (3) high density, and (4) slight expansion and contraction. (Children may notice that a liquid takes the shape of the container holding it, as does a gas.)

GASEOUS STATE:
Characterized by (1) lack of definite shape and volume, (2) low density (airy), and (3) easy contraction and expansion. (Children may describe gases as being light, colorless, invisible, or floating.)

PLASMA STATE:
Characterized by (1) lack of shape and (2) not able to classify it as a gas, liquid or solid.

Answer 2

The object which occupies space and has mass is known as matter.
There is 3 type of matter :-
Solid 
Liquid
Gas
