States of matter ?
Explain in detail..❄️
Answers
Answer:
There are 3 types of matter
- solid
- liquid
- gas
which are also called
- solid state
- liquid state
gaseous state
other than this there are also types of matter but it's not clearly defined example. plasma or plasmic state
Explanation:
- solid state:In this state molecules are very tightly packed and no gaps and they have definite shape and size ex: wood, iron etc
2. liquid state: in this state the molecules are loosely packed hence have some gaps and donot have definite shape it takes shape of medium which contains it ex: water , milk etc
gaseous state: in this state molecules are very loosely packed they are so loose that they do not have define shape example: oxygen nitrogen helium etc
Solid is one of the four fundamental states of matter. The atoms in a solid are closely packed together and contain the least amount of kinetic energy. A solid is characterized by structural rigidity and resistance to a force applied to the surface.
A liquid is a nearly incompressible fluid that conforms to the shape of its container but retains a (nearly) constant volume independent of pressure. As such, it is one of the four fundamental states of matter (the others being solid, gas, and plasma), and is the only state with a definite volume but no fixed shape.
Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter (the others being solid, liquid, and plasma). A pure gas may be made up of individual atoms (e.g. a noble gas like neon), elemental molecules made from one type of atom (e.g. oxygen), or compound molecules made from a variety of atoms (e.g. carbon dioxide).
