The primary difference cannot be color. Why? just because you move from one state to another it doesn't mean it will change colors. Anyways, this isn't a PRIMARY difference, although it can be true.

The mass of the substance CANNOT be changed. Why? Well, according to the law of conservation of mass, mass cannot be created nor destroyed. Not a primary difference.

Number of atoms in the substance cannot change PHYSICALLY, but the number can change CHEMICALLY. Out of the picture!

last but not least, the amount of movement of atoms in a substance is the primary difference between the states of matter. Plasma has super fast atoms that are going in random directions everywhere, and they are spread out, just like the gaseous state. Liquid state has atoms that slide past one another, fill up the container they are in, and are more tightly packed but are still somewhat loose. In a solid, the atoms are moving ever so slightly and they are completely packed and firm, which is why if you hit your table right now it won't melt around your hand (and why it is standing...). Then the last state of matter, the bose-einstein condensate, pretty much reducing the temperature to absolute zero, is when molecular motion is pretty much stopped.

To the point: <u>The amount of movement of atoms in the substance is the primary difference between the states of matter!</u>

How long will it take for a radioactive isotope with a decay constant of 0.15 (which means a half life of 4.6 days ) to decay to
jek_recluse [69]
Radioactive decay is given by:
N = No x e^(-λt)
We know that N/No has to be 0.05
λ = 0.15
0.05 = e^(-0.15t)
t = ln(0.05)/(-0.15)
t = 19.97 days

On what principle does a bottle opener work
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Bottle opener works on a fulcrum.

Explanation:

A bottle opener is a second-class lever because the pivot point is at one end of the opener and the load is in the middle.

What was also changed in the "Levers" lab when the position of the fulcrum was changed?
erastova [34]

Effort force

Explanation:

When the potion of fulcrum and weight is changed, the mechanical advantage changes.Increasing the distance between the fulcrum and the effort, there is a proportion increase in effort required to lift a load.The ration of the distance from the fulcrum to the position of input and output application gives the mechanical advantage in levers when losses due to friction are not considered.
