Document Summary
Physical properties of matter, all three states of matter have certain properties that help distinguish between the states. Four of these properties are density, shape, compressibility, and thermal expansion: density, density is equal to the mass of a sample divided by the volume of the same sample, other physical properties. The shape matter takes depends upon the physical state of the matter: compressibility, compressibility is the change in volume of a sample of matter resulting from a pressure change acting on the sample. Thermal expansion is the change in volume of a sample of matter resulting from a change in the temperature of the sample: characteristic properties of the three states of matter, kinetic molecular theory of matter. It is associated with potential energy: disruptive force, a disruptive force results from particle motion. The solid state is characterized by a high density, a definite shape that is independent of its container, a small compressibility, and a very small thermal expansion.
