Flashcards
Solid
Solid
A state of matter with a fixed volume and shape, where particles are closely packed and fixed in place.
Liquid
Liquid
A state of matter with a fixed volume but adaptable shape due to component particles being close together but not fixed.
Gas
Gas
A state of matter where a substance's component particles have a lot of space between them and move freely.
