Question

drag each statement to the correct location on the table. match the characteristics with the states of matter. solid liquid gas does not have a definite shape or volume has definite volume but does not have a definite shape has a definite shape and volume changes to liquid on cooling changes to solid on cooling changes to liquid on heating

Explanation:

• Solid: Solids have a definite shape and a definite volume. Also, when a liquid changes to solid, it happens on cooling (freezing). So the characteristics for solid are "has a definite shape and volume" and "changes to solid on cooling".
• Liquid: Liquids have a definite volume but no definite shape (they take the shape of the container). When a gas changes to liquid, it happens on cooling (condensation). So the characteristics for liquid are "has definite volume but does not have a definite shape" and "changes to liquid on cooling".
• Gas: Gases do not have a definite shape or volume (they expand to fill the container). When a solid changes to gas, it's sublimation, but here the other change is when a liquid changes to gas on heating (vaporization), but the given option is "changes to liquid on heating" which is incorrect? Wait, no, maybe the "changes to liquid on heating" is for gas? Wait, no, when a solid is heated, it can melt to liquid, but the given options: Let's re - check. The gas characteristics: "does not have a definite shape or volume" and "changes to liquid on cooling" is for gas? Wait, no, condensation is gas to liquid on cooling. So:
• Solid: has a definite shape and volume; changes to solid on cooling (when liquid cools to solid).
• Liquid: has definite volume but no definite shape; changes to liquid on cooling (when gas cools to liquid).
• Gas: does not have a definite shape or volume; changes to liquid on heating? No, that's wrong. Wait, maybe the "changes to liquid on heating" is a mistake, but according to the given options:
• Solid: "has a definite shape and volume", "changes to solid on cooling"
• Liquid: "has definite volume but does not have a definite shape", "changes to liquid on cooling"
• Gas: "does not have a definite shape or volume", "changes to liquid on heating" (maybe a typo, but following the given options)

Answer:

State of Matter	Characteristics
Liquid	has definite volume but does not have a definite shape; changes to liquid on cooling
Gas	does not have a definite shape or volume; changes to liquid on heating
