Three States of Matter
One of the three states of matter is solid.
Solids:
Have tightly packed particles
Does not flow
Impossible to squash
Cannot change its volume
High density.
Have closely packed particles that can hardly move an only vibrate
Another state is liquid.
Liquids:
Take the shape of what container they are put in therefore they have no fixed shape
Do flow
Are not easy to squash
Volume cannot be changed
Are not highly dense but not lowly dense either. They are in between.
Have close particles but these can still move past each other.
The final state is gas.
Gases:
Do not have fixed shape
Can flow
Are easy to squash
Can change volume compacting them
Are less dense and are of a lower density.
Have spread out particles that can move around freely.
When a solid turns into a liquid it is called melting. Liquid into gas is evaporation. Gas to Liquid is called condensation while liquid to solid is called freezing, or solidification. Solid to gas directly is called sublimation while gas to solid directly is called re-sublimation.
