Question

In how many states is the matter classified normally?

Answer 1

Classification of the matter:

• On the basis of intermolecular forces and the arrangement of particles, matter can be classified into three different states such as solid, liquid, and gas.
• The increasing order of intermolecular forces of attraction among the different states of matter: Gas < Liquid < Solid.
• These three forms of matter can be converted from one state of matter to another state by changing certain environmental factors like increasing or decreasing pressure and temperature.
• For example, Ice can be converted from a solid into liquid water by increasing the temperature.
