Why do gases have neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume?
'A substance has definite volume but no definite shape'. State whether this substance is a solid, a liquid or a gas.
What is fire, a solid, liquid, or a gas?
A form of matter has no fixed shape but it has a fixed volume. An example of this form of matter is :(a) krypton (b) kerosene(c) carbon steel(d) carbon dioxide
The substance X normally exists in a physical state which can flow easily but does not fill its vessel completely. It also turns anhydrous copper sulphate blue. When substance X is cooled excessively, it changes into a substance Y which has a fixed shape as well as a fixed volume. If, however, substance X is heated strongly, it changes into a substance Z which has neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume.(a) Name the substances (i) X (ii) Y and (iii) Z.(b) What is the process of conversion of X into Y known as?(c) At which temperature X gets converted into Y?(d) What is the process of conversion of X into Z known as?(e) At which temperature X gets converted into Z?
State two characteristic properties each of: (a) a solid (b) a liquid (c) a gas
'A substance has a definite shape as well as a definite volume'. Which physical state is represented by this statement?
Why do solids have a fixed shape?
......................... is neither a positive nor a negative integer.
The scientists now say that there are actually five states of matter A, B, C, D and E. The state A has a fixed volume but no fixed shape. The state B can be compressed very easily by applying pressure and state C has a fixed shape as well as a fixed volume. The state D is a mixture of free electrons and ions whereas state E is named after an Indian scientist and a famous physicist.(a) Name the physical states (i) A (ii) B (iii) C (iv) D, and (v) E(b) Name one substance belonging to state C which can directly change into vapours on heating. What is this process known as?(c) Name one substance which normally belongs to state B but whose solid form changes directly into gaseous state.(d) Name the most common substance belonging to state A.(e) Which state of matter makes the sun and other stars to glow?
Name the temperature at which :(a) a liquid changes into a gas.(b) a solid changes into a liquid.
P.E of a spring increases when it is in the state of:a). compressionb). neither a nor cc). expansiond). both a and c
If the wood is neither a metal nor a non-metal then what is it?
Check if a SortedList object has a fixed size in C#
(a) Why does a gas exert pressure?(b) Why does a gas fill a vessel completely?(c) Why are gases so easily compressible whereas it is almost impossible to compress a solid or a liquid?
