States of Matter

Solids: Solids have a fixed shape and volume.
Particles in a solid are tightly packed in a regular arrangement.
Solids maintain their shape when moved to a different container.
Solids maintain their volume; the amount of space they occupy remains constant.
Solids can have various textures (smooth, rough).
Solids can have colors, smells, and tastes, or none of these.

Liquids

Liquids have a definite volume but no definite shape.
Liquids flow and take the shape of their container.
Liquids do not have a specific size or shape; they completely fill the container they're in.
Liquids take up the same amount of space when moved to another container.
Liquids can flow continuously, like water in a pipe.
Liquids can have colors, smells, and tastes, or none of these.

Gases

Gases have no fixed shape or volume.
Gas particles are spread out.
Gases fill the entire volume of their container.
The space a gas occupies changes with the container's volume (it expands to fill it).
Gases can flow continuously, like oxygen from a tank.

Explore the three primary states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases. Understand their unique properties, particle arrangements, and how they respond to changes in shape and volume. This quiz will test your knowledge of each state and their characteristics.
