A solid has a definite characteristic shape tends to resist deformation of its shape is relatively non compressible For example, diamond Solids can be classified as: Crystalline Amorphous In a crystalline substance the solid is characterised by a very ..

Property Solid Liquid Gas Shape and volume Because of strong inter-particle forces, solids have definite shape and volume Because of slightly weaker inter-particle forces, liquids do not have definite shape but possess definite volume ..

In liquid, the inter-molecular space is larger than that in solids. Therefore, the inter-molecular force of attraction is weaker. Molecules in liquids have vibratory motion as well as strong translatory motion. Thus the molecules of a liquid can move freely ..

The classification of matter into three different states, namely solid, liquid and gaseous state is termed as the physical classification of matter. Most properties of solid, liquid and gases that can be observed with our s..

Expansion of Matter - Matter expands on heating, i.e., solids, liquids and gases expand on heating. Let us consider expansion of solids: Three types of expansions are considered in case of solids. This classification is done acco..

States of Matter - Normally matter exists in three forms: Solid Liquid Gases Heat energy can bring about a change of state in matter from solid to liquid and liquid to gaseous state. Suppose a solid ..

Matter In Our Surroundings - Summary Matter - anything which has mass, occupies space and can be perceived by our senses. Law of conservation of matter - matter can neither be created nor destroyed. The states of matter are solid, liq..

Matter and Materials - Matter exists in several phases. If we look at all objects around us, we perceive that some materials have a definite shape and occupy a definite amount of space or volume. We call these materials solids and we can name many objects that are ..

States of Matter - All matter consists of atoms and molecules. Each of these atoms and molecules has certain amount of energy. The level of this energy decides the state in which the matter exists. When heat energy is supplied to matter, this energy level ris..
