LIQUID -Can flow easily -Can change shape depending on area -Volume stays the same -On heating changes to gas state (eg. water to water vapour) -On cooling can turn into solid state (eg. water to ice) -molecules bounce around
GAS -Has no definite shape or volume -Expands to fill its area -Diffuses with other gases easily -Has no surface of its own -On cooling changes to liquid state (eg. water vapour to water) -Molecules move rapidly, are spread apart.
