The three states of matter are:

Natural sciences

Solid, liquid and gas

Natural sciences

Solids

Natural sciences

have a definite mass, shape and volume

Liquids

Natural sciences

have a definite mass and volume, but not a definite shape

Natural sciences

Gases

Natural sciences

have a definite mass, but not a definite shape or volume

Natural sciences

Gas expansion:

Natural sciences

when a gas occupies more volume because the distance between its particles increases

Natural sciences

Gas compression:

Natural sciences

when a gas occupies less volume because the distance between its particles decreases

Natural sciences

Melting:

Natural sciences

the change of state from solid to liquid

Natural sciences

Melting point:

Natural sciences

the temperature at which a solid melts

Natural sciences

Vaporization:

Natural sciences

the change of state from a liquid to a gas

Natural sciences

Evaporation:

Natural sciences

vaporization that occurs at any temperature and only on the surface of the liquid

Natural sciences

Boiling:

Natural sciences

Vaporization that occurs when a liquid is heated to a specific temperature so that all the liquid vaporizes

Natural sciences

Boiling point:

Natural sciences

temperature at which a substance boils

Natural sciences

Steam:

The three states of matter are: solid, liquid and gas Solids have a definite mass, shape and volume. Liquids have a definite mass and volume, but not a definite shape. Gases have a definite mass, but not a definite shape or volume. Capacity: amount of something that a container can hold. Gas expansion: when a gas occupies more volume because the distance between its particles increases. Gas compression: when a gas occupies less volume because the distance between its particles decreases. Melting: the change of state from solid to liquid Melting point: the temperature at which a solid melts. Vaporization: the change of state from a liquid to a gas

Evaporation: vaporization that occurs at any temperature and only on the surface of the liquid Boiling: vaporization that occurs when a liquid is heated to a specific temperature so that all the liquid vaporizes. Boiling point: temperature at which a substance boils. Steam: vapour form boiling water. Condensation: the change of state from a gas to a liquid. Condensation point: temperature at which a gas starts to condense into a liquid. Freezing: the change of state from a liquid to a solid. The freezing point is the same as its melting point for every substance. Sublimination: the change of state from a solid to a gas. Deposition: the change of state from a gas to a solid.
