what are the pleases of matter​

Asked by avebadajos

Answer (1)

Answer:The states (or phases) of matter are the distinct forms that matter can take on. The common states are: - Solid: Solids have a definite shape and volume. Their particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place, but they don't move around freely. Examples include ice, rock, and wood.- Liquid: Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container. Their particles are close together but can move around each other. Examples include water, juice, and oil.- Gas: Gases have neither a definite shape nor volume. Their particles are far apart and move around freely at high speeds. Examples include air, helium, and oxygen.- Plasma: Plasma is a superheated gas, where electrons are stripped from atoms, forming an electrically conductive mixture of ions and free electrons. It is the most common state of matter in the universe, found in stars and lightning.- Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC): This is an exotic state of matter that occurs at extremely low temperatures. Atoms behave as a single quantum entity.- Fermionic Condensate: Similar to a BEC, but formed from fermions (particles that obey the Pauli exclusion principle). While these are the most commonly discussed states, there are other less common states of matter, and the boundaries between them can be complex and sometimes blurry. The state of matter depends heavily on temperature and pressure.
