States of Matter Quiz

Study Notes

Solid: Maintains a definite shape and volume. Particles vibrate around fixed positions.
Liquid: Lacks a definite shape and takes the shape of its container while having a definite volume. Particles can move over each other but remain attracted to one another.
Gas: Characterized by no definite shape or volume. Particles move in random motion with minimal attraction, allowing for high compressibility.
Plasma: Does not have a definite shape or volume, known as the fourth state of matter. Unique for its ability to generate electricity, distinguishing it from ordinary gases.

Focus on methods for separating mixtures, though specific methods were not detailed.

Produced by microorganisms known as methanogens, which break down organic matter in anaerobic environments. Commonly found in the intestines of animals and near the Earth's surface.

Most significant and widely used renewable energy source, contributing about 19% of global electricity production.
Top Producers: China leads in hydroelectricity production, followed by Canada, Brazil, and the United States.
Approximately two-thirds of economically feasible hydropower potential remains untapped, particularly in regions like Latin America, Central America, India, and parts of China.

Four types of geothermal power plants are utilized; however, specific types were not detailed in this context.
