MEANT FOR SCIENCE
what are the four states of matter?
gas
liquid
solid
plasma
what form are the particles of each state?
NOT INCLUDING PLASMA
solid=tightly packed together; don’t move much
liquid=spaced apart (short distance away from each other);
slide past each other
gas=widely apart (long distance away from each other);
move freely
what shape does the states of matter take up?
NOT INCLUDING PLASMA
solid=firm shape; takes up a specific amount/take up a definite amount
liquid=takes up the shape of the container (no actual shape); takes up how much it can
gas= no shape at all; takes up shape of container IF closed)
moves freely anywhere at any time
