Solid |
Solid is one of the four fundamental states of matter (the others being liquid, gas, and plasma). It is characterized by structural rigidity and resistance to changes of shape or volume. |
|
Liquid |
A liquid is a nearly incompressible fluid that conforms to the shape of its container but retains a (nearly) constant volume independent of pressure. As such, it is one of the four fundamental states of matter (the others being solid, gas, and plasma), and is the only state with a definite volume but no fixed shape. |
|
Gas |
an airlike fluid substance which expands freely to fill any space available, irrespective of its quantity. |
|
Atom |
the basic unit of a chemical element. |
|
Property |
thing or things belonging to someone; possessions collectively. |
|
Mass |
coherent, typically large body of matter with no definite shape. |
|
Potential energy |
the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors. |
|
Kinetic energy |
energy that a body possesses by virtue of being in motion. |
|
Chemical energy |
Chemical Energy is energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds (atoms and molecules). It is released in a chemicalreaction, often producing heat as a by product (exothermic reaction). Batteries, biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and coal are examples of stored chemical energy. |
|
Force |
strength or energy as an attribute of physical action or movement. |
|
Element |
a part or aspect of something abstract, especially one that is essential or characteristic. |
