Answer:

Solids :A solid has a definite shape and volume because the molecules that make up the solid are packed closely together and move slowly. Solids are often crystalline; examples of crystalline solids include table salt, sugar, diamonds, and many other minerals. Solids are sometimes formed when liquids or gases are cooled; ice is an example of a cooled liquid which has become solid. Other examples of solids include wood, metal, and rock at room temperature.  Liquids : A liquid has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container. Examples of liquids include water and oil. Gases may liquefy when they cool, as is the case with water vapor. This occurs as the molecules in the gas slow down and lose energy. Solids may liquefy when they heat up; molten lava is an example of solid rock which has liquefied as a result of intense heat.  Gases : A gas has neither a definite volume nor a definite shape. Some gases can be seen and felt, while others are intangible for human beings. Examples of gases are air, oxygen, and helium. Earth's atmosphere is made up of gases including nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.  Plasma: Plasma has neither a definite volume nor a definite shape. Plasma often is seen in ionized gases, but it is distinct from a gas because it possesses unique properties. Free electrical charges (not bound to atoms or ions) cause the plasma to be electrically conductive. The plasma may be formed by heating and ionizing a gas. Examples of plasma include stars, lightning, fluorescent lights, and neon signs.

What is matter? Give a grade 10/11/12 understanding.
lara [203]

Matter can be many things, but is mostly made of atoms. Atoms are small things that cannot be seen directly, as lights either passes through it or alters it. However, we know that atoms are made of 3 parts, those being the proton, neutron, and electron.

Protons have a positive electromagnetic charge.

Neutrons have no charge.

Electrons have a negative charge equal to the protons positive charge.

Protons and neutrons make up what's called the nucleus, which is orbited by the electrons.

Protons and neutrons also share another thing in common, that being their composition.

Until relatively recently, we thought that these were the smallest particles in the universe, and indestructible. However, modern discoveries have revealed that they are actually made of quarks and gluons.

These are actually indestructible, being part of the group that is elementary particles.

What is Newton's first law
Anastaziya [24]
Newton’s first law is motion. For example, an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

When object is placed between the focus (F) and pole (P) of a concave mirror, magnified and erect image of the object is formed on the back of the mirror.

When object is placed between the centre of curvature and the principal focus of a concave mirror, magnified and inverted image is formed in front of the mirror.
