Comments and Observations about States of Matter

Here is what I observed and noticed when I was looking and re-reading the table I posted;
  • Solid has definite in Shape, Mass and Volume
    • All of the atoms can't move around a lot, so it is stiff
  • All three states have a definite mass
    • This means that matter is anything that has mass or takes up space
  • Gas is the most different from all three states
    •  It isn't the same, you can't see it (usually)
  • On heating, all the states can be heated, even though some expand more and some less

  1. Excellent observations from your data table Clare! You are right on about the basics of matter!
