Chapter: 07. Forms Of Matter Solids, Liquids And Gases
Medicines can be found as solids, such as pills or tablets, and also as liquids, like syrups.
Ice is a solid, liquid water is a liquid, and steam is a gas.
Matter is anything that possesses mass and occupies a certain amount of space.
Sand is considered a solid because each individual grain of sand has its own fixed shape and size, even though the collection of grains can flow and appear to take the container’s shape.
The activity showed that air, despite being invisible, possesses mass, as the stick tilted towards the side with the unpricked, inflated balloon.
Liquids flow easily and occupy a fixed amount of space.
The scent particles from the incense sticks are in gaseous form, and gases have the property of spreading out to fill all available space, causing the smell to diffuse throughout the room.
Liquids do not have a fixed shape of their own, but they always take on the shape of the container they are poured into.
Solids have a fixed shape and a fixed size, and they do not flow.
Water is a liquid essential for life, as many plants and animals live in it, and humans must drink plenty of it daily.
Gases do not take up a fixed space and will expand to fill the entire volume of any container they are present in.
The three main forms of matter are solids, liquids, and gases.
Water can be found as solid ice, liquid water, and gaseous steam or water vapour.
It is suggested to use the water from the experiment to water plants instead of discarding it.
An umbrella is a solid that we use to protect ourselves from the rain.
Gases do not have a fixed shape, fixed size, or occupy a fixed space, instead, they spread to fill the entire volume of their container.
The process where a solid changes directly into a gas without first becoming a liquid is called sublimation.
Oxygen is a crucial gas that we breathe in to sustain life.
