Magnitude in thermal expansion is how much the substance can expand, so, the relative order of magnitude of thermal expansion is:

solid<liquid<gases. Gases expand more than liquid, and liquid more than solid.

In solid substance, molecules are tightly packed together so they do not have much energy. In liquids, molecules are little far apart from one another; energy in liquids is greater than that of solids. In gas, molecules are really far apart from one another; kinetic energy of the molecules in this state of matter is the highest.

Liquids are watery stuff that you can and cannot drink sometimes because of what is in some of the liquids.

What do we call a solid that forms when 2 non-solids react?

When a solid suddenly appears when you mix liquids (or gases), you call it a precipitate.


How gases are different from solids?

They are lighter in density as compared to solids. Gas are compressible, whereas not all solids. Gases exhibit better flow characteristics than solids. Gases readily react with other substances. All solids are seen by the naked eye whereas some gases are not.

When looking at the periodic table how do the physical and the chemical properties change?

Well all of the metals except mercury are solids, and they are on the left side of the table. Along the stair-steps are the metalloids, which have metallic properties and nonmetallic properties. So those are solids. Nonmetals are solids, liquids and gases at STP (standard temperature and pressure). The right side is mostly gases though, the only solids at STP across the stair step are sulfur and iodine, the rest are gases and solids. in terms of melting and boiling points, they decrease across the table, because gases have very low melting and boiling points and they are more prominent in the right side of the table. Other properties such as malleability and ductility decrease across the table. In terms of Chemical properties, they change according to number of valence electrons... and I'm not sure which ones you want me to mention... In terms of chemical reactivity, groups one and two are the most likely to react, and so is group 17, the rest really depends on the number of valence electrons. So if an element say in the transition metals category, the fewer amount of valence electrons, the better. for nonmetals, they're all pretty reactive if they have like 6 or 7 valence electrons. But noble gases barely EVER react...


How do liquids react to different substances?

all liquids react differently, they all also react differently depending on the substance reacted with

What must be done to oxygen and hydrogen to change them liquids?

If you mean the individual gases you will need to apply pressure and or reduce the temperature to liquefy the gases. If you mean by forming a compound react them together. The end product is water which is liquid at room temperature and pressure.

Can inert gases be stored with oxidizing gases?

An inert gas is one that won't react with other gases. You can store inert gases with any other gases - oxygen (an oxidizing gas) and argon (an inert gas) are commonly stored together in industrial settings.

Why a crushed solid reacts with a gas more quickly than a large chunk of the same solid?

It has to do with surface area. A crushed quantity of a solid substance has a much greater surface area than the solid chunk. The gas reacts with the surface of a solid. The same is true for solids and liquids.Pulverizing or grinding a substance increases the rate of reaction, many small particles have more total area than large particles.So by increasing the surface area of reactants it allows collisions with other reactants which increases the reaction rate.


How do they decide what temperature to bake food at?

The proper temperatures to bake different foods are determined by the way the ingredients in the food react to each other at different levels of heat. All of these are chemical reactions of different sorts, such as melting (solids turning to liquids) and evaporation (liquids turning to gas.)


What is the difference between a mixture and a compound?

A compound can be any number of solids, liquids or gases, as long as they chemically bond, like Hydrogen and Oxygen do for water. A mixture can be any amount of solids, liquids or gases, as long as they do not react, like if you mixed two powders in with each other, and they didn't react, it would be a mixture. Compounds are like kittens you never know why they like milk so much until you eat poop.
