Study Notes

Properties of Solids, Liquids, and Gases

Solids have a definite shape and volume due to rigidly bound molecules.
Liquids have a definite volume but not shape, and adapt to the shape of their container due to molecules bonded with sufficient force.
Gases have neither a definite shape nor volume, and fill their containers completely due to molecules not being bound to each other.

Characteristics of Fluids

Fluids include both liquids and gases.
Fluids are able to flow.
Fluids exhibit phenomena not found in solid matter due to their ability to flow.
Fluids and solids are governed by the same laws of mechanics.
