Question

1. complete the following table to describe three states of matter. the table has been partially completed to help you.

	solid	liquid	gas
volume	fixed volume
spaces between particles
movement of particles			can move freely and quickly in all directions in the container

Explanation:

Step1: Recall properties of solids

Solids have a fixed shape.

Step2: Recall volume property of liquids

Liquids have a fixed volume.

Step3: Recall space - between - particles property of solids

In solids, spaces between particles are very small.

Step4: Recall space - between - particles property of liquids

In liquids, spaces between particles are larger than in solids but smaller than in gases.

Step5: Recall space - between - particles property of gases

In gases, spaces between particles are large.

Step6: Recall movement property of solids

In solids, particles vibrate in fixed positions.

Step7: Recall movement property of liquids

In liquids, particles can move past each other.

Answer:

	Solid	Liquid	Gas
Volume	Fixed volume	Fixed volume	Not fixed, takes the volume of the container
Spaces between particles	Very small	Larger than solids, smaller than gases	Large
Movement of particles	Vibrate in fixed positions	Can move past each other	Can move freely and quickly in all directions in the container
