Question

what are the three main states of matter? solid, liquid, and gas ice, water, and steam temperature, pressure, and energy hot, cold, and warm 2 multiple - choice 1 point compared to ice, how do molecules of water behave? they move less freely. they are locked into a crystal lattice. they move more freely. they bounce off one another randomly. 3 multiple - choice 1 point what is the definition of matter? matter is anything that is visible. matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. matter is anything that reflects light. matter is anything that absorbs light.

Explanation:

1. The three main states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. Ice, water, and steam are specific examples of these states for water. Temperature, pressure, and energy are factors that can affect matter but are not states of matter. Hot, cold, and warm are descriptions of temperature, not states of matter.
2. In ice (solid - water), water molecules are in a fixed crystal - lattice structure. In liquid water, molecules move more freely compared to ice. They slide past one another more easily.
3. Matter is defined as anything that has mass and takes up space. Weight is a measure related to the force of gravity on matter. Reflecting or absorbing light are properties of some materials but not the definition of matter.

Answer:

1. Solid, Liquid, and Gas
2. They move more freely
3. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space
