Question

Explain the states of matter

Answer 1

Answer:

matter has four states solid, liquid, gas and plasma state..

Answer 2

Answer:

About Matter:-

An object which is made up of many particles (molecules) is known as Matter.

It has 5 states viz,

1. the Solid state
2. the Liquid state
3. the Gaseous state
4. the Plasma state
5. the Bose-Einstein Condensate

_________...

Details about the types of matter (names provided above) :-

the Solid state:-

• It has a fixed shape.
• It has a distinct boundary.
• It has a high density.
• It has a fixed volume.
• They have negligible compressibility.
• They can maintain their shape.
• They are rigid.

Examples:

1. Table
2. Sugar cube

the Liquid state:-

• Liquids have no fixed shape.
• It doesn't have a boundary.
• It has a fixed volume.
• It takes the shape of it's container.
• It is a fluid.
• It isn't rigid, i.e. it is flexible.
• They have an ability to diffuse.

Examples:

1. Water
2. Lava

the Gaseous state:-

• The intermolecular force of attraction is less.
• It has no surfaces.
• It has no shape.
• It neither has a fixed shape nor volume.
• It has a lower density.
• It is very easy to compress.

Examples:

1. LPG
2. CNG

the Plasma state:-

• It is a state of matter where it's molecules are very excited moving constantly.
• They are very energetic (molecules).
• The fluorescent bulbs and neon bulbes constist of plasma.
• It glows with a specific colour depending upon the nature of gas.
• The Stars glow because of the presence of them only.

Examples:-

1. Helium
2. Neon

the Bose-Einstein Condensate:-

• It was discovered by Albert Einstein and Satyendra Nath Basu.
• It is formed by cooling at extreme low density.

Examples:-

1. Boson

ᴛʜᴇᴀssᴀssɪɴ's BRAIN BOOSTER:-

• There is also 2 states of matter introduced by scientists.
• The new states of matter are

1. Supersolids
2. Superliquids

• Their is also a mysterious matter named Anti matter. It is one of the most expensive material on Earth.
• Man has discovered the new Aerogel which is the lightest solid material on Earth!! It is made of 98% of air and is a very good insulator of heat. NASA declares this will be used in space crafts. It's density is very less.
