Solid Liquid Gas A solid is a sample of matter that retains its shape and density when not confined. The adjective solid describes the state, or condition, of matter having this property. A liquid is a sample of matter that conforms to the shape of a container in which it is held, and which acquires a defined surface in the presence of gravity. The term liquid is also used in reference to the state, or condition, of matter having this property. A gas is a sample of matter that conforms to the shape of a container in which it is held and acquires a uniform density inside the container, even in the presence of gravity and regardless of the amount of substance in the container. If not confined to a container, gaseous matter, also known as vapor, will disperse into space . The term gas is also used in reference to the state, or condition, of matter having this property. A solid,as opposed to a liquid or gas, has a size and shape to it. It doesn't flow like water or disappear into the air. In everyday use, liquid is the opposite of solid water at room temperature is a liquid: Heat it to boiling, it turns to a gas. Chill it below freezing, it turns to ice Matter can be found in solid, liquid, or gas form.The air you breathe in and the carbon dioxide you breathe out, are both examples of gas. What’s the difference between the three states of matter? Solids Liquids Gases For most people, the difference between solid and liquid is easy to discern—liquids move, they flow, they take the shape of whatever they are put in.solid on the other hand, are rigid and don't slosh around There are the three distinct physical forms that matter can take in most environments: solid, liquid, and gas. The particles can move around and mix with other particles. Therefore,liquids can change shape to match their container. There is still very little space between particles, so liquid are also difficult to compress. In gases the particles are much further apart than in solid or liquid Write 3 sentences explaining something new you learned from this reading. Matter is all around us. Matter is the air you are breathing. Matter is the computer you are reading from now. Matter is the stuff you touch and see. And it is more. Matter is defined as anything that has mass and takes up space. Matter is found in 3 major states; solid, liquid and gas.Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of atoms, molecules, and/or ions, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases. The following figure illustrates the microscopic differences. Microscopic view of a gas. Microscopic view of a liquid. Microscopic view of a solid.
