Question

students will be able to demonstrate their knowledge of the states of matter through illustrations and descriptions. students will compare and contrast the 3 states of matter. students will study the effect of temperature to the kinetic energy of molecules. for this slide, on the right side of this slide, think about what it means to be a solid, liquid, or gas. in your own words, describe each state of matter.

Explanation:

A solid has a definite shape and volume with closely - packed molecules having low kinetic energy. A liquid has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container, with molecules having more kinetic energy than in a solid and are able to slide past each other. A gas has no definite shape or volume, with widely - spaced molecules having high kinetic energy and moving freely.

Answer:

Solid: Has definite shape and volume, molecules closely - packed with low kinetic energy.
Liquid: Has definite volume, takes shape of container, molecules can slide past each other with moderate kinetic energy.
Gas: Has no definite shape or volume, molecules widely - spaced with high kinetic energy.
