1.2 STATES OF MATTER Flashcards
The 3 states of matter
- Solid
- Liquid
- Gas
What are physical properties?
Properties that you can observe or measure without changing the model
Physical properties of solids
1. Can it flow?
2. Does it have a fixed shape?
3. Does it have a fixed volume?
4. Is it compressible?
- No
- Yes
- Yes
- Only a tiny bit
