Solids, Liquids and Gases

Solids, Liquids and Gases

1. Solid

   • Fixed Shape
   • Fixed Volume
   • Does not flow
   • Can not be compressed
   • Fixed volume
   • Particles held tightly together and do not move

2. Liquids

   • Becomes a gas if above 100 degres
   • Can exist as a solid when below 0 degres
   • A liquid when between 0 and 100 degres
   • Can be compressed to an extent

3. Gases

   • Can be compressed
   • Has no fixed shape
   • Can defuse

4. Changes of state

   • Solid
     • Liquid
       • Gas
         • Must Condense
       • Must evaporate
       • Must Freeze
     • Must melt
     • Solid to Gas = Sublimation
