Solids have a definite shape and volume, liquids take the shape of their container but have a definite volume, and gases spread out to fill their entire container without a definite volume. Examples of solids include bricks and rocks, liquids include water and milk, and gases include oxygen and carbon dioxide. Matter exists in these three forms: solids, liquids, and gases.

• Solids have definite shape, meaning they
do not need container to give them shape.
• Solids retain their own shape

meaning they take up the same amount of
space no matter where or into what
container they are placed.

5. What is Liquid?
• Liquids do not have definite
shape. They take the shape of
container in which they are
placed.
• However, like solids, liquids have
definite volume. This means they
take up the same amount of space
in any container in which they are
placed.

6. What is Gas?
• Gases, like liquids, have no definite shape but it
take the same shape of their container.
• Unlike liquids and solids, gases do not have a
definite volume but spread out to fill the entire
container in which they are placed.
