Study Notes
States of Matter
- Solids are the densest state of matter, except for water.
Liquids
- In the liquid state, molecules move more freely than in solids but less than in gases.
- When a liquid turns into a solid, its density increases.
- Water is an exception, becoming less dense when it freezes due to its unique molecular structure.
Gases
- Gases are the least cohesive and dense of the three states of matter.
Volume Measurement
- Volume is defined as the amount of three-dimensional space occupied by a substance or object.
- The volume of a liquid can be measured using a measuring cylinder or a burette.
- The volume of a liquid is usually measured in units such as milliliters (mL) or liters (L).
- The volume of a solid body is usually measured in units such as cubic centimeters (cm³) or cubic meters (m³).
- The volume of a regular object like a solid cuboid can be calculated by multiplying its length, width, and height (V = l × w × h).
Basic Concepts
- The three common states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.
