Question
- match the descriptions with the states of matter. matter has a defined shape and volume that will not change. matter does not have a defined shape but still retains a defined volume and has visc matter cannot be seen, has weak or no attractive forces, and will expand to fill a cont shape or volume. this matter is made of extremely hot particles that contain a high amount of energy
Brief Explanations
- For "Matter has a defined shape and volume that will not change": Solids have a fixed shape and volume because their particles are closely packed and have strong intermolecular forces holding them in place. So this description matches Solid.
- For "Matter does not have a defined shape but still retains a defined volume and has viscosity": Liquids take the shape of their container (no fixed shape) but have a fixed volume. They also exhibit viscosity (resistance to flow). So this description matches Liquid.
- For "Matter cannot be seen, has weak or no attractive forces, and will expand to fill a container, taking its shape or volume": Gases have particles with very weak intermolecular forces, are often invisible, and expand to fill their container (no fixed shape or volume). So this description matches Gas.
- For "This matter is made of extremely hot particles that contain a high amount of energy": Plasma is a state of matter where particles are extremely hot and have high energy (ionized gas, common in stars, lightning, etc.). So this description matches Plasma.
