Question

What is Matter? What are the states of matter?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$hi$

Explanation:

Matter, material substance that constitutes the observable universe and, together with energy, forms the basis of all objective phenomena.In physics, a state of matter is one of the distinct forms in which matter can exist. Four states of matter are observable in everyday life: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Matter is the "stuff" that makes up the universe — everything that takes up space and has mass is matter.

There are five phases of matter:

1. Solids

In a solid, particles are packed tightly together so they don't move much. The electrons of each atom are constantly in motion, so the atoms have a small vibration, but they are fixed in their position. Because of this, particles in a solid have very low kinetic energy.

2.Liquids

In a liquid, the particles are more loosely packed than in a solid and are able to flow around each other, giving the liquid an indefinite shape. Therefore, the liquid will conform to the shape of its container.

3. Gases

In a gas, the particles have a great deal of space between them and have high kinetic energy.

4. Plasma

Plasma is not a common state of matter here on Earth, but it may be the most common state of matter in the universe, according to the Jefferson Laboratory. Stars are essentially superheated balls of plasma.

5. Melting and freezing

When heat is applied to a solid, its particles begin to vibrate faster and move farther apart. When the substance reaches a certain combination of temperature and pressure, its melting point, the solid will begin to melt and turn into a liquid.
