1. CHEMISTRY WORKSHEET
Properties of solids, liquids, and gases
All the substances you know can be sorted into groups. One way of grouping substances is into
solids, liquids or gases.
Features of the matter:
Compressed: Something that is pressed into less volume or space
Flow: To move with unbroken continuity
Volume: The amount of space occupied by a
three-dimensional object
SOLIDS

GASES A solid has a definite shape and volume.
It cannot flow, nor can it be compressed.
No definitive volume A liquid has a definitive volume and can
No definitive shape change its shape. It can flow but it cannot
Can flow be compressed.
Can be compressed A gas has no definitive volume and can
change its shape to fill any space. It can
flow and it can be compressed.

2. Write in which state these different matters are.

Write TRUE (T) or FALSE (F) in the following statements:
____ A gas has a definitive shape and volume, and cannot be compressed
____ These two states of matter have a definitive volume: Solid and liquid
____ One substance can be in the three states of matter
____ A solid can flow
____ All three states of matter can be compressed
SUMMARY
There are three states of matter: solid, liquid and gas.
A solid has a definitive shape and volume. It cannot be
compressed.
A liquid has a definite volume, but its shape can change. It can
be poured and can flow, but cannot be compressed.
A gas has no definitive shape or volume. It will fill the space
available. It can flow and it can be compressed.
