Study Notes
States of Matter
- A liquid maintains a fixed volume but has a variable shape.
- Neutron-degenerate matter exists under the extreme condition of extremely high density, as found in neutron stars.
- In a solid, component particles are close together and fixed into place.
- Quark–gluon plasma exists at extremely high temperatures and densities, such as those found in the early universe.
- A gas does not maintain a fixed volume or shape.
