  1. May 20, 2018 · Three states of matter exist - solid, liquid, and gas. Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but take the shape of the container. Gases have no definite shape or …

  2. Jan 10, 2024 · In scientific terms, mass is a measure of an objects resistance to acceleration when a force is applied. It also determines the strength of its mutual gravitational attraction with other bodies. Under ordinary circumstances, the mass of an object is constant and does not change unless the object itself changes by gaining or losing matter.

    Physical properties include mechanical properties and any characteristic you can see, smell, taste, or touch. Here are some examples of physical properties: 1. Albedo– reflectivity of an object 2. Area– size of a two-dimensional surface 3. Boiling point– temperature at which a liquid changes into a gas 4. Brittleness– tendency to break under stress...

    The two broad categories of physical properties are intensive and extensive properties. An intensive propertydoes not depend on the size or mass of a sample. For example, density is an intensive property because it is the same no matter where you sample a substance. Other intensive properties include boiling point, freezing point, viscosity, luster...

    Another was to classify a physical property is as isotropic or anisotropic. An anisotropic propertydoes not depend on the orientation of the sample. For example, mass and volume are isotropic because the direction of the matter being measured doesn’t matter. An isotropic property does depend on sample orientation. For example, a crystal might appea...

  3. A solid is rigid and possesses a definite shape. A liquid flows and takes the shape of a container, except that it forms a flat or slightly curved upper surface when acted upon by gravity. (In zero gravity, liquids assume a spherical shape.) Both liquid and solid samples have volumes that are very nearly independent of pressure.

  4. Jun 7, 2024 · A solid has a definite shape and volume. A liquid has a definite volume, but takes the shape of its container. A gas lacks either a defined shape or volume. Plasma is similar to a gas in that its particles are very far apart, but a gas is electrically neutral and plasma has a charge.
