how manay types of stste of matter are there
Answers
Answer:
States of matter are distinguished by changes in the properties of matter associated with external factors like pressure and temperature. States are usually distinguished by a discontinuity in one of those properties: for example, raising the temperature of ice produces a discontinuity at 0 °C (32 °F) as energy goes into a phase transition, rather than temperature increase. The four classical states of matter are usually summarized as: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. In the 20th century, increased understanding of the more exotic properties of matter resulted in the identification of many additional states of matter, none of which are observed in normal conditions.
Natural states Edit
Solid: A solid holds a definite shape and volume without a container. The particles are held very close to each other.
Amorphous solid: A solid in which there is no far-range order of the positions of the atoms.
Crystalline solid: A solid in which atoms, molecules, or ions are packed in regular order.
Plastic crystal: A molecular solid with long-range positional order but with constituent molecules retaining rotational freedom.
Quasi-crystal: A solid in which the positions of the atoms have long-range order, but this is not in a repeating pattern.
Liquid: A mostly non-compressible fluid. Able to conform to the shape of its container but retains a (nearly) constant volume independent of pressure.
Liquid crystal: Properties intermediate between liquids and crystals. Generally, able to flow like a liquid but exhibiting long-range order.
Non-Newtonian fluid: a fluid that does not follow Newton's law of viscosity.
Answer:
Question :-
How many types of states of matter are there ?
Answer Required :-
States of matter :-
There are three States of matter. They are solid liquid and gas.
Characteristics of solid state :-
• They have a definite shape
• Have distinct boundaries and fixed volumes.
• Have negligible compressibility.
• Have a tendency to maintain their shape when subjected to outside force.
• Solids may break under the force but it is difficult to change their shape so they are rigid.
• The force of attraction between the particles is maximum.
• The space in between the particles and the kinetic energy of the particles is minimum.
Characteristics of liquid state :-
• Liquids have no fixed shape but have fixed volume.
• They take the shape of the container in which they are kept.
• They flow and change shape, so they are not rigid but can be called fluid.
• Force of attraction between particle is intermediate in liquids.
• The spaces between the constituent particles and kinetic energy of particles are intermediate in liquids.
• The rate of diffusion of liquid is higher than in solids
Characteristics of gaseous state :-
• Gases do not have a fixed shape and fixed volume.
• They are highly compressible.
intermolecular space between the particle is maximum.
• Force of attraction is minimum or weak.
• Particles move about at high speed.
• The space between particles and kinetic energy of particles is maximum.
• The arrangement of particles in gases is not in order.
• The rate of diffusion is highest in gases.
