Study Notes
States of Matter
- Solid state of matter maintains a fixed volume and shape with component particles close together and fixed into place.
Extreme States of Matter
- Neutron-degenerate matter exists under extreme conditions of immense gravitational pressure, such as in neutron stars.
States of Matter
- Liquid state of matter has a fixed volume but a variable shape.
States of Matter
- Gas state of matter has component particles that have a lot of space between them and move freely.
Extreme States of Matter
- Quark–gluon plasma exists under extreme conditions of extremely high temperatures and densities, such as in the early universe or in high-energy particle collisions.
