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 shape of solid

Solids have a fixed shape.

Step2: Recall volume of liquid and gas

Liquids have a fixed volume, while gases have a volume that is not fixed and fills the container.

Step3: Recall spaces between particles in solid

In solids, the spaces between particles are very small.

Step4: Recall spaces between particles in liquid

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

Step5: Recall spaces between particles in gas

In gases, the spaces between particles are large.

Step6: Recall movement of particles in solid

In solids, particles vibrate in fixed positions.

Step7: Recall movement of particles in liquid

In liquids, particles can move around each other.

Answer:

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