What is matter?

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space, consisting of molecules and atoms. It is the substance that makes up all physical objects in the universe, including solids, liquids, gases, and plasma. Matter can exist in different forms and states, and its properties can be observed and measured through various physical and chemical processes.

How many states of matter are there?

There are five states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, plasma, and Bose-Einstein condensate.

Describe solid.

A solid is a state of matter characterized by a definite shape and volume, where particles are closely packed together in a fixed arrangement. Solids maintain their shape and volume under normal conditions and have strong intermolecular forces that hold the particles in place. Examples of solids include ice, wood, and metal.

Describe liquid.

Liquid is a state of matter characterized by its ability to flow and take the shape of its container. It has a definite volume but no fixed shape, allowing it to adapt to the shape of the container it is held in. Liquids have particles that are more loosely packed compared to solids, allowing them to move past each other easily. Common examples of liquids include water, milk, and oil.

Describe gas.

Gas is a state of matter characterized by particles that are widely spaced apart and move freely with high energy and random motion. Gases have no definite shape or volume, conforming to the shape of their container and expanding to fill it completely. They are compressible and exhibit low density compared to liquids and solids. Gases are commonly found in the Earth's atmosphere and can be formed through processes such as evaporation, combustion, or chemical reactions.

Give an example of a solid.

Iron is an example of a solid because it has a definite shape and volume, and its particles are tightly packed together in a fixed arrangement.

Give an example of a liquid.

Water is an example of a liquid.

Give an example of a gas.

Oxygen gas is an example of a gas that is commonly found in the Earth's atmosphere.

What is melting?

Melting is the process of a solid turning into a liquid by absorbing heat energy, causing the particles in the solid to gain enough kinetic energy to overcome the forces holding them in a fixed position. This results in the solid's structure breaking down, allowing the particles to move more freely and take on the characteristics of a liquid.

What is evaporation?

Evaporation is the process in which a liquid, such as water, changes into a gas or vapor form due to heat energy. This occurs when molecules at the surface of the liquid gain enough kinetic energy to overcome the attractive forces holding them together, allowing them to break free and enter the surrounding air as vapor.
