AnswersDriveSolid, liquid, and gas are common states of matter. A substance can exist as a solid, a liquid, or a gas. The state of a substance depends on the space between its particles and on the way in which the particles move. The particles in all matter are always in motion.
How are the states of matter similar and different?
Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas. Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around. Liquid matter is made of more loosely packed particles.
How is a solid similar to like a liquid?
The atoms and molecules in gases are much more spread out than in solids or liquids. They vibrate and move freely at high speeds. A gas will fill any container, but if the container is not sealed, the gas will escape. Gas can be compressed much more easily than a liquid or solid.
1
Do solids have a fixed shape?
Any matter that is a solid has a definite shape and a definite volume. The molecules in a solid are in fixed positions and are close together. Although the molecules can still vibrate, they cannot move from one part of the solid to another part. As a result, a solid does not easily change its shape or its volume.
2
Is liquid shape fixed?
Liquids, because they flow, can occupy whatever shape their container has, so they do not have a fixed shape. Because the particles in liquids are very close together (barely further apart than in solids) liquids do not easily compress, so their volume is fixed. They do not have a fixed volume.
3
Can solids flow?
That means they're made up of solid particles, but they can actually flow like liquids! Candies such as Skittles, M&M's, Nerds and many others are also granular materials. In this science activity you'll investigate how the size and shape of granular materials affect how they flow.
4
What is the change of state?
All matter exists as solids, liquids, or gases. These are called the states of matter. Matter can change from one state to another if heated or cooled. If ice (a solid) is heated it changes to water (a liquid). This change is called MELTING.

What are the similarities between gas and liquid?
Transcript of Similarities of solid, liquids, and gas. Sold, liquid, and gas all have volume and shape. They are all made up of atoms, molecules, or ions. Liquids and solids can be referred to as condensed phased because their particles are close together.
6
What has no definite shape or volume?
A gas is a substance with no definite volume and no definite shape. Solids and liquids have volumes that do not change easily. A gas, on the other hand, has a vol- ume that changes to match the volume of its container. The molecules in a gas are very far apart compared with the molecules in a solid or a liquid.

How are the three states of matter different from each other how are they the same?
Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas. Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around. Particles can move about within a liquid, but they are packed densely enough that volume is maintained.
8
How are solids different?
The atoms and molecules in gases are much more spread out than in solids or liquids. They vibrate and move freely at high speeds. A gas will fill any container, but if the container is not sealed, the gas will escape. Gas can be compressed much more easily than a liquid or solid.

What do Boyle's Law and Charles's have in common and how are they different?
Explanation: Boyle's Law tells us that for an ideal gas, at a constant temperature, volume is proportional to pressure. Charles' Law tells us that for an ideal gas, at constant pressure, volume is proportional to temperature (where temperature is in degrees Kelvin).
10
Can a solid diffuse into a solid?
It is even possible for a solid to diffuse into another solid; e.g., pure gold will diffuse into pure lead, two pieces of chalk tightly wrapped together are found to become homogeneous after some years; although at room temperature this diffusion is very slow.
11
How are liquids and gases alike and how are they different?
Liquids and gases are similar in both shape and volume because they both have its shape determined by its surroundings. Liquids and gases are different in the amount of space between particles. Particles in a liquid are close together, but still have a slight movement. Particles in a gas, are very free.
12
What is the difference between a solid and a liquid?
For most people, the difference between a solid and liquid is easy to discern—liquids move, they flow, they take the shape of whatever they are put in. Solids on the other hand, are rigid and don't slosh around.
13
How is a solid different from a liquid?
In a liquid the particles are still close together but a little further apart than in a solid. The particles can move around and mix with other particles. Therefore, liquids can change shape to match their container. In gases the particles are much further apart than in solids or liquids.
14
What is the common property of solid liquid and gas?
In a solid, molecules are packed together, and it keeps its shape. Liquids take the shape of the container. Gases spread out to fill the container. Solid is one of the three main states of matter, along with liquid and gas.
15
Can all substances change into solid liquid and gas form?
Changes of State: Solids, Liquids, and Gases. A snowman, glass of water and steam might look very different but they are made of the same stuff! Just like any substance, water can exist in three different forms, called states: solid, liquid and gas. The state will change when the substance is heated.
16
How are the three states of matter similar and how are they different?
The main difference in the structures of each state is in the densities of the particles.
- Solids. In a solid, particles are packed tightly together so they are unable to move about very much.
- Liquids.
- Gases.
- Plasma.
- Bose-Einstein condensates.
- Melting and freezing.
- Sublimation.
- Vaporization.
17
How are the forces between particles different in solids liquids and gases?
Particles in a: gas are well separated with no regular arrangement. liquid are close together with no regular arrangement. solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.
18
What is common in all the three states of matter?
The common thing among the three states of matter is - They are made up of small tiny particles. They have a particular mass and can occupy space . This three states have volume in it . The atoms of this three states have force of attractions between them .

Why do ice cubes form in the freezer?
Ice freezes from the outside in because the tray and surface of the water are exposed to colder temperatures. Crystallization pushes away impurities (such as dissolved minerals and gases), therefore in the case of ice cubes, these impurities are pushed to the center of the ice cubes.
