Question

what is the characteristics of the state of matter ​. chemistry

Answer 1

$\huge\underline\bold\red{ANSWER}$

Matter can exist in one of three main states:

solid, liquid, or gas.

Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around. Liquid matter is made of more loosely packed particles.

Matter in the solid state maintains a fixed volume and shape, with component particles (atoms, molecules or ions) close together and fixed into place. Matter in the liquid state maintains a fixed volume, but has a variable shape that adapts to fit its container. Its particles are still close together but move freely.
