Question

Tabulate the difference in the characteristics of states of matter

Answer 1

Matter — Anything is that, has the mass, occupies space, and assume by sensory organs to be considered a matter

• Generally, matters are three types, in spec
• solid — A substance that has fixed volume, shape & size due to high intermolecular force
• Liquid — A substance that has fixed volume, but not fixed shape & size due to moderate inter-molecular force
• Gas — A substance that has no fixed volume, shape & size due to low inter-molecular force
• Plasma — it is made up of free electrons, for example shining of a star
• Bose-Einstein condensate — Any substance gets - 272.15⁰C then it reached that stage where volume is almost is zero
• some materials can exist in all three states
• For example — pen, pencil, copies, book, etc

The difference in the characteristics of states of matter

Sr. no.	Solid	Liquid	Gas
volume, shape & size	Solid has a fixed shape and volume	Liquids have fixed volume but no fixed shape	volume, shape, and size not fix
Intermolecular force	they possess high inter-molecular force	Moderate level of intermolecular forces	possess low inter-molecular forces
Rigidity	High rigidity	low rigidity	too low rigidity
Compressible	incompressible	compressible	too low compressible
Fluidity	Do not flow	can flow	can flow
