III. Complete the following table. 10. Property Solid Liquid Gas Shape Fixed Volume Fixed Compressibility Diffusion
Answers
Answer:
Three states of matter exist – solid, liquid, and gas. Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but take the shape of the container. Gases have no definite shape or volume.
Explanation:
Solids are non-compressible and have constant volume and constant shape.
Liquids are non-compressible and have constant volume but can change shape. A liquid’s shape is dictated by the shape of the container it is .
Gases do not have a constant volume or shape; they not only take the shape of the container they are in, they try to fill the entire Diffusion takes place in liquids. The rate of diffusion is less in liquid than that of gases. The particles of liquid have enough movement because of kinetic energy for diffusion. When two liquids are kept together they are mixed because of the diffusion.
