They cannot move freely but they can vibrate

A liquid has a definite volume (which can change with temperature), but takes the shape of its container.

A Liquid is the state that has no definite shape, since the atoms can move around, it is therefore able to form itself to the shape of its container. However, since the atoms still have weak bonds to one another, it cannot fill up a closed container by stretching out the atoms. (The form of matter that does this is a gas.)

* Liquids can be very slightly compressed, but not to the extent of gases.

There are 3 phases of matter. Solids, liquids and gases. Solids have a definite shape and a definite volume. Liquids do not have a definite shape but do have a definite volume. Gases do not have a definite shape as they can "flow", and they do not have a definite volume as they can fill a container by changing in pressure (density).

How do scientists know that dark matter and dark energy exist even if we can not see them
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

We only know it's there because we can see the effect of its gravity. Scientists study dark matter by looking at the effects it has on visible objects. Scientists believe that dark matter may account for the unexplained motions of stars within galaxies. Computers play an important role in the search for dark matter information.

What is the medical term for the process or procedure that destroys or inhibits disease-causing microorganisms to prevent infect
Simora [160]

Answer: Sterilization.

Explanation:

Sterilization is the process that kills, or deactivates all forms of life so then a product is considered free of viable microorganisms. This process must be designed, validated and carried out to ensure that it is capable of eliminating the microbial load of the product.

Since sterility cannot be demonstrated without causing the complete destruction of the products, <u>sterility is considered when the probability of a product being contaminated is acceptably remote.</u> A critical product is considered sterile when the probability of a microorganism being present in an active or latent form is equal to or less than 1 in 1,000,000 (sterility safety factor 10^-6).

Agents that kill microorganisms are called microbicides or more commonly called "germicides". If the agent kills bacteria, it is called a bactericide. And if it kills fungi, then it is called a fungicide. It is important to consider than <u>after an exposure of the sterilized object to the air or its surroundings, it will have become contaminated again with microorganisms.</u>

Examples of sterilization include physical methods and chemical methods. Physical methods include:

  • Wet heat (in steam autoclave)
  • Dry heat (in sterilization oven)
  • Radiation (gamma radiatio, electron beam, X-ray, ultraviolet, microwave, white light)

Chemical methods include a variety of chemicals in liquid and vapor form, for example:

  • Hydrogen peroxide
  • Chlorine dioxide
  • Ozone gases
  • Ethylene oxide
  • Propylene oxide
  • Peracetic acid
