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>

Select to show the energy of pendulum 1. Be sure that friction is set to none. Drag the pendulum to an angle (with respect to th
iragen [17]

Answer:

it have Potential energy

Explanation:

given data

Drag the pendulum to an angle 30∘

to find out

what form of energy does it have

solution

we know that pendulum start no kinetic energy when it release from any rest position then in starting it have potential energy only so that when pendulum is angle 30∘ at some height from ground so when it start it have potential energy same as in starting.

we know that the total energy is always conserve  

so it have potential energy

What happens to a sample of matter when it’s particles lose kinetic energy?
Mrrafil [7]
What will happen if the sample is the
Featured snippet from the web
When a sample of solid, liquid, or gas matter heats up, it expands. When matter gets hot, its particles gain kinetic energy. ... When matter cools down, its particles lose kinetic energy. The decreased kinetic energy lets the particles come closer together. The kinetic theory of matter can be used to explain how solids, liquids and gases are interchangeable as a result of increase or decrease in heat energy. ... If it is cooled the motion of the particles decreases as they lose energy.
