Can you expain solid,liquid. and gas?

Question

The detailed answer gets the best point~
Please explain be specific
thanx

Answer 1

Solid- The particles are very tightly packed. They vibrate slightly unless lower than -272 degrees Celsius (absolute zero). Solids can be compressed slightly. Examples include a Metal, a CD etc.
They CAN be compressed A BIT and is measure in Density.

The particles look like this:

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Liquids are solids but with bonds. They are stuck together but can move freely. They can move from a solid to liquid via melting, the particles are still bonded but are loosened i.e. ice melting.
They cant be compressed and therefore this property is sed in hydraulics and can lift weights of 3 tonnes and very small.
Examples include water, gel, glue

Gas- These particles move around like maniacs. They bash around in the container and with each other. It can be compressed easily. Balloons are an example. When you blow in, you pressurise the gas in the ballon and the air hits the side of the balloon keeping it inflated. Gases are what causes air resistance- an unstreamlined the air particles hit the object slowing it down. The pressure is measured in air pressure and this is measured in Pounds per Square meter. Examples include oxygen, air around us and gas canisters. This comes from liquids via evaporation

(i couldnt draw a diagram as the particles are spaced apart and Yahoo ignores lots of spaces)

Sublimation is when a liquid moves from a solid to gas straight away- i.e. dry ice. This can also happens when a comet hits something.

A liquid turns to a gas via freezing, a gas turns to liquid via condensation

solid---melting--->liquid
liquid---evaporation--->gas

gas---condensation--->liquid
liquid---freezing--->solid

solid<---sublimation--->gas

when liquid turns to solid, it decreases in size EXCEPT water, which increases in size and thats why you shouldnt put water in glass bottles and freeze it or not why pipes crack in winter. The solid version of something always sinks in the liquid form except water. e.g. iceburgs float in water.

You can make a liquid or solid from a gas by compressing it or freezing the gas it as well as condensing and freezing it.- liquid nitrogen or dry ice (frozen CO2)

Liquids and Solids always "sink" in the gas.

Answer 2

Picture a gym being filled (almost half full?) with basketballs shot from numerous cannons, hot and lively with energy. They bounce off the floor, ceiling, walls and each other but can lose total energy only by striking the cooler surfaces of the room. In an ideal world they will lose zero heat if the surfaces are the same temperature. When two balls collide they may both change velocity and direction but in the melee they will maintain an average velocity, measured as their average temperature. The hot basketballs will fill the gym top-to-bottom but will be slightly more compressed toward the floor which supports their total weight due to gravity (air is denser at sea level).

The walls of the gym are slowly cooled and the basket balls lose some of their energy of motion and slow down. The slowest balls even condense (into a liquid) where the balls remain so slippery that they are easily stirred and cooler balls move closer together (becoming denser) and slowly fall forcing warmer balls to a definite upper surface (in convection currents). Some very few balls may have instantaneously enough energy to break free of the surface tension (like the level on a pond) and float about the room until recaptured and replaced by other balls. They exert a vapor pressure against the walls and ceiling dependeng on their average temperature.

The walls of the gym are cooled below the 'freezing' point and the basketballs become sticky and even form organized chains or crystals. Although the balls are now solid they still have heat energy which causes them all to vibrate in place with little or no relative movement. The vibrations can conduct excess energy (heat transfer) helping to maintain a fairly uniform average temperature of the mass. As the room is chilled further the vibrations become weaker and the balls repel each other even less occupying even slightly less space and the mass shrinks with lower temperatures. If a heap of balls is dug out of the mass, it will maintain its shape until reshaped using heat and force (heated and forged, etc.).

Almost all substances can occupy the four states of matter depending upon temperature and pressure. Plasma is an ionized state of very hot gases with one or more electrons stripped from the atoms. Gas is an energized state where atoms (molecules) fly free. Liquid is a state where there is too little energy to fly free but enough energy to constantly break any non-chemical bonds. Gravity pulls a liquid mass down to form a definite surface but in an orbiting spacecraft (zero gravity) only surface tension will weakly hold a liquid together in drops. Solid is a state where attraction between atoms (molecules) overcomes repulsion due to vibrations and can defy gravity and other external forces.

Some substances [water, dry ice (frozen CO2) and sulfur, etc.] can change directly from the solid state to the gaseous state (sublimate) without becoming a liquid. Individual atoms or molecules receive just enough energy to escape from the mass. The present temperature state for an instantaneous tiny mass of atoms or molecules can produce ice or liquid in steam and steam or liquid in ice but nearby matter will quickly return the offenders to an average state. Food dries out (sublimates) in a freezer (causing freezer burn which is an oxymoron which in itself actually means sharp-dull because oxygen is acidic and sharp although unknown to most morons, right?). Ooops I forgot the basketball hoops. Maybe next time. You did ask for detail, tat?

Answer 3

A solid is something that will always keep its shape (like a rock)

A liquid is something that will hold the shape of what ever it is put in (like water)

(If you put water in to a jar, it will hold the shape of the jar whereas if you put a rock into a jar it will still hold its shape)

A gas is something that will fill and hold the shape of anything (like oxygen)

(Like if you put some carbon dioxide into a tank it will expand to fill the tank. or if you have a jar with nothing inside and you open it, the air (A mixture of many gasses) rushes to fill the jar)

Interesting facts:
Take a solid (I will use ice because it is commonly known in its three states)
Add more heat
It then melts to become a liquid (water)
Add more heat
It becomes a gas (water vapor or steam)

Although this is, what happens to water it is not the case of carbon dioxide
If you take dry ice (carbon dioxide’s solid state)
And add heat
It goes directly to carbon dioxide and skips its liquid state

Other things
Solid, liquid, and gas are the three main states of matter but plasma (not found in your TV)
Is also a state of matter and it is the hottest

Answer 4

All molecules have forces of attraction (gravity, charge). now when those forces are greater than forces pulling apart the molecules(Kinetic Energy) the molecule will be a solid. as the kinetic energy increases or you raise the temperature, the forces of attraction will become less significant and the substance will become a liquid, then a gas.

Solid- molecules are compact. Definite volume. Definite Shape

Liquid- Molecules are less close and are free to move around. Definite Volume, no shape

Gas- Molecules are very far apart. no volume and no shape

Answer 5

Solid, Ice has the molecules trapped in a crystal form the allows very little movement.
Liquid,water is a liberated form of ice whose molecules have much more leeway for motion.
Gas, steam is a state of ice and water where molecular activity is released from the bonds that keep them together.

Answer 6

Solid: Has a definite shape and volume. Molecules are tightly packed together so that they cannot move. Most metals (exception is Mercury) are solid at room temperature.

Liquid: Has a definite volume and an indefinite shape; the molecules are not as tightly packed, so they can slide past each other. They take the shape of their container.

Gas: Has no definite volume or shape; the molecules move freely and can disperse. It moves to fill its container.

Answer 7

Solid: Hard, doesnt take the complete shape of its container

Liquid: Does take up the shape of its container, is a Solible

Gas: Just takes up the space in its container, doesnt take the shape, fills the air un like a liquid who spills and spreads and a solid just drops and stays

Answer 8

what most of these people are falling to say is that these three are connected. cool a gas it becomes a liquid, condensation. if you cool a liquid enough it will become a solid. now there is an absolute zero, which is when all molecular motion stops. it has never been reached, but it is a posibility.

Answer 9

in case you probably did not attempt to start the engine, then the gas gadget does not prefer cleansing, in basic terms the tank must be drained. in case you even positioned the considerable into the "ON" place and it kicked interior the gas pump then the gadget as much as the gas rail must be wiped sparkling. in case you tried to start it, then each and every thing needs cleansing.
