1. The freezing point of water and gasoline can be compared in terms of their intermolecular forces. The stronger the intermolecular forces of a substance, the higher the freezing point (as more energy is required to overcome those forces). Water has a low molecular weight and so has weak dispersion forces. Gasoline consists of long chained hydrocarbons with high molecular weights and so would have much stronger dispersion forces than water. Even though water has strong hydrogen bonding, the overall intermolecular forces in gasoline would be much stronger and so it would have a lower freezing point, that is, less than 0 degrees celsius. \n\n2. Freezing and melting are opposite processes. So if water freezes at 0 degrees celsius, then it must melt at 0 degrees celsius.

Question:  If matter cannot be created or destroyed,  \nwhere did the first(present)matter come from?\n------------------------------------------------\nThough, it is still a big question, if the "Big Bang" was\nreasonably symmetric the universe should have started out\nas pure energy, or as equal parts antimatter and matter\n(matter can be destroyed and turned into pure energy by\ncombining it with antimatter, and energy in some other\nform can be converted into equal parts of matter and antimatter).\nThe big question is, why do we normally only see matter around\nus, and not equal parts of both matter and antimatter? (Of\ncourse it would be pretty hazardous living around stuff that\ncould annihilate you!).  There are a bunch of theories, but as\nfar as I know, nobody really knows yet.

Did you put your entire homework assignment on here? I noticed you posted a bunch of science questions just now.\nIf you don't have your textbook handy [you really should be looking up these answers so that you can remember and understand them when you have your test/exam], go to the links below and look them up. The 1st is a down loadable physics textbook. The 2nd has animations of physics.

The 4th state:\nThe 4th state of matter is called the plasma state, which is (in simple words) made of charged particles like electrons and ions. All ordinary stars are in the plasma state.\nThe 5th state:\nBeautiful filament-systems are often shown by the astonishing development of the modern astronomy. Most of these filaments have an exact circular cross section. Filaments have the same interesting characteristics from a diameter of 0.01 mm to that of many 1000 of light-years. Filaments are incorrectly seen to be of plasma, however, particles move in only one direction in them, often against gravity. In this non-thermal (fifth-) state of matter, particles have up to (10 to the power 16) -times higher energy than those in the hottest stellar plasma. The corona-problem and hundreds of other problems of astrophysics are solved at once.\nOnly six states of matter are possible (the zeroth state is of course the Bose-Einstein condensate state)!

I would say NO... at certain point, particles are made of energy, and energy can't be splitted as matter does...

A general part of a particular opens up a whole lot of questions. Beg ginning student of physics guess I would be of thee. So, for your question, #1 is truth for you at this time, the other only asks of itself.

Particle theory of matter suggests that matter is made of tiny pieces with much space. One support for the idea is when they learned to shoot   particles, and most of them went right through, very few hit a nucleus. They were using a sheet of gold.

The new matter is the sixth known form of matter after solids, liquids, gases, plasma and a Bose-Einstein condensate, created only in 1995.\n\nThis sixth state of matter was first created on December 16, 2003 by physicist Deborah S. Jin and is called Fermionic Condensate.  \n\nIt is a fermionic condensate which is a cloud of cold potassium atoms forced into a state where they behave strangely.\n\nEditted:  Although Quarks are interesting, they are not referred to as the "Sixth state of matter".   :-)

This is an subject area where vocabulary is vital for clear understanding, to a degree I am not capable of, however the stuff that you ask about are so small that the only way to attempt to prove their existence is through mathematical formulae based on what we suspect to be true. Our lack of understanding on this subject, which is still very voung, means the answers available are sketchy at best compared to our understanding of molecular structure or atomic structure.\nWhat is known so far can be found in places like the noetic sciences knowledge centre, or wikipedia.

The definations wanted by you are given below-\n\nIn physics, matter is commonly defined as the substance of which physical objects are composed, not counting the contribution of various energy or force-fields, which are not usually considered to be matter per se (though they may contribute to the mass of objects). Matter constitutes much of the observable universe, although again, light is not ordinarily considered matter. Unfortunately, for scientific purposes, "matter" is somewhat loosely defined.\n\nMass is a property of a physical object that quantifies the amount of matter and energy it is equivalent to. Mass is a central concept of classical mechanics and related subjects, and there are several forms of mass within the framework of relativistic kinematics (see mass in special relativity and mass in General Relativity). In the theory of relativity, the quantity invariant mass, which in concept is close to the classical idea of mass, does not vary between single observers in different reference frames.\n\nAn elementary particle is a particle with no measurable internal structure, that is, it is not a composite of other particles. They are the fundamental objects of quantum field theory. Elementary particles can be classified according to their spin, with fermions having half-integer spin and bosons integer spin.\n\nSpace has been an interest for philosophers and scientists for much of human history. The term is used somewhat differently in different fields of study, hence it is difficult to provide an uncontroversial and clear definition outside of specific defined contexts. Disagreement also exists on whether space itself can be measured or is part of the measuring system. (See Space in philosophy.) Many fields use an operational definition in which the units of measurement are defined, but not space itself.\n\nIn chemistry and physics, an atom (Greek  átomos meaning "indivisible") is the smallest particle of a chemical element that retains its chemical properties. \n\nA chemical element, often called simply an element, is a substance that cannot be decomposed or transformed into other chemical substances by ordinary chemical processes. All matter consists of these elements and as of 2006, 117 unique elements have been discovered or artificially created. The smallest particle of such an element is an atom, which consists of electrons centered about a nucleus of protons and neutrons.\n\nIn chemistry, a molecule is an aggregate of two or more atoms in a definite arrangement held together by chemical bonds. Chemical substances are not infinitely divisible into smaller fractions of the same substance: a molecule is generally considered the smallest particle of a pure substance that still retains its composition and chemical properties. Certain pure substances (e.g., metals, molten salts, crystals, etc.) are best understood as being composed of networks or aggregates of atoms or ions instead of molecular units.\n\nIn particle physics, antimatter extends the concept of the antiparticle to matter, wherein if a particle and its antiparticle come into contact with each other, the two annihilate —that is, they may both be converted into other particles with equal energy in accordance with Einstein's equation E = mc2. This gives rise to high-energy photons (gamma rays) or other particle–antiparticle pairs-.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!\nAbsolute zero simply means that all EXCESS energy from the system will have been removed - the system will still have ground-state energy!\nThink of the quantum harmonic oscillator, E = (n+1/2)hw/2pi\nEven if n=0 (lowest energy state for the oscillator) there is still some energy.\nIf you model the vibrations of atoms as independent harmonic oscillators, you will see that all molecular motion DOES NOT STOP at absolute zero.\n\nFurthermore, whether something is solid depends not only on the temperature, but also on the pressure.\nExperiments have shown that liquid helium stays liquid until all the way to about 0.0001 kelvin (about the lowest temperature ever reached) at atmospheric pressure, (but displays superfluidity) but that increasing the pressure will cause it to solidify at some temperature.\n\nI am sorry to get so side-tracked answering this question, but i felt that the misconceptions of the other answerers must be addressed.\nIn answer to your question, no, not everything will be solid at absolute zero.

i think the problem is when you try to apply general relativity - or gravity - to interaction betwen subatomic particles - especially when trying to understand how these forces worked during the first instant after the big bang. you wind up with nonsencial results - like zero equals one.
