After going through this chapter, i have learnt that there are 3 states of matter; Solid, Liquid and Gas.
Solids have a fixed shape and volume, usually hard and rigid, have high density and is incompressible.
Liquids have fixed volume but does not have a fixed shape, have high density and is also incompressible.
Lastly, Gas have no fixed shape and volume, have low density and is compressible.
The three matter consists of tiny particle called atoms or molecules.
The arrangement of particles of Solids are closely packed in an orderly manner, Liquids are closely packed in a disorderly manner and Gas are very far apart and randomly arranged.
The movement of particles of Solids will vibrate about fixed positions, Liquids move freely within each other and Gas move freely at high speeds.
The forces of attraction of Solids are strong, Liquid have moderate strength and Gas have weak forces.
Temperature can affect the attractive forces which makes the movement of the particles to move faster or more slowly.
The faster the movement, the larger the object will be. And, the other way around too.
Particles of Gases are very far apart that it is able to be compressible and fit into smaller spaces.
Particles of Solids and Liquids are closely packed together, leaving very little spaces or even none at all, making them not able to be compressed.
Therefore, Gases can be compressed but Solids and Liquids cannot be compressed.
