Study Notes

States of Matter

  • Substances like wax, oil, and ghee exist in solid, liquid, and gaseous states.
  • Solids have a fixed shape and volume.
  • Liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container.
  • Gases have no fixed shape or volume.

Properties of Matter

  • Solids, such as wax, do not flow or spread.
  • Liquids, such as oil, flow and spread.
  • Gases, like the air, spread out and fill any available space.

Smell of Cooking Food

  • Food smells can spread throughout a kitchen.
  • This is because air carries the smell particles.
  • The particles travel through the air until they reach the nose.

Change of State

  • Melting is the change from a solid to a liquid state.
  • Freezing is the change from a liquid to a solid.

Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG)

  • An AWG is a device that collects water from the air.
  • The air's humidity is used to produce drinkable water by condensation.
