particles in motion
A phenomenon where substances flow with zero viscosity, even climbing the walls of their container
what is Superfluidity
what is made of tiny particles.
what is matter
has a definite volume but no fixed shape. Particles are close together but can move past one another, allowing the flow to conform to the shape of its container while maintaining volume
what is a liquid
what is smallest unit of matter that forms an element.
what is an atom
particles that act as the "glue" holding quarks together inside protons and neutrons.
gluons
In solids, particles are tightly packed and held in fixed positions, giving the material a definite shape and volume. The particles vibrate but do not move freely, resulting in high density and minimal compressibility
what is a solid
A substance made of a single type of atom
what is an element
The type and speed of motion depend on the state of matter. In solids, particles vibrate in place; in liquids, they move past each other; in gases, they move rapidly and randomly
what are Particles in constant motion
even smaller particles that make up protons and neutrons, while leptons include electrons, which are considered elementary particles.
quarks and leptons
Gas particles are widely spaced and move freely, so gases have neither a definite shape nor a definite volume. They expand to fill the container they occupy
what is gas
one of six heavy fundamental particles
what is a quark
incredibly tiny particles that rarely interact with matter, with trillions passing through your body every second without you noticing
neutrinos
is a high-energy state similar to gas but contains charged particles (ions and electrons) that respond to electric and magnetic fields. is commonly found in stars, lightning, and certain high-energy laboratory conditions
what is plasma
the particle associated with the higgs field that gives mass to other particles
what is higgs poson
what is the particle of light, having no mass and traveling at the speed of light
what are photons
occurs at extremely low temperatures where particles move very slowly and act as a single quantum entity
Bose-Einstein Condensate
what Describes anything smaller than an atom?
SUBATOMIC
