States of Matter

What are the different states of matter and what are some of the characteristics that make them different from each other. Name at least two characteristics for each of them.

Solids exist at lower temperatures and molecules are closer compacted. Liquids are medium temperatures and fit to its container. Gas exists in high temperatures and expands to all the area it has.

There are three different states of matter, solid, liquid, and gas. Gas is hard to see, it is almost invisible. Liquid can be seperated or formed to fit any object. The solid can stay all together unlike gas, and it is usually very cold, kind of like ice cubes because they are solids.

Solids are normally colder than the rest, and are hard. Liquids are easily poured out of or into something, and and forms to the shape of a container. Gas you cant normally see and is hotter than the most of the rest.

Solids are hard. Liquids you can put your hands through. Gas you can walk thorugh. Solids survive in low temps, while liquids survive at regular temps and gases survive at hot temps.

Solids exist at lower temperatures and don't take the shape of their container. Liquids take the shape of their container and have viscocity. Gasses expand to fill their containers and the molecules are spread out

Gas is in high temperatures and expands to all the areas. Liquids are at medium temperature and fits the container. Solids has lower temperature and are closer compacted.

You have solid, liquad, and gases. Gases you cant see. Solids are usualy at room temp and liquads are below. Gas takes up all space. Soldid are there own shape. And liquad takes the shape of what it goes into.

Liguids are medium temp. and it fits the container. Solids aare at lower temps and don't fill the shape of the container. Gas is in high temps. and expands the area is has.

The different states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. Solids are at low temps and kept their shape. Liquids are at medium temps and form to the container they are put in. Gas is at high temps and covers all the area it has.

Solids are at medium temperatures and they keep the molecules closer. Gas expands and has a high temp. Solids are hard and keep their shape.

the different states of matter are solid,liquid,and gas. Characteristics of solids are they are hard, and keep the same shape. Characteristics of liquids are they take the shape of their container and have boiling points. Gases take up the entire volume of its container and its molecules roam freely throughout its content.

The different states are solids, liquids, and gasses. Solids are a hard substance. Liquid are sepearated or can be seperated. Gas is harder too see than normal and it can expand.

Solids have their own shape and are usually colder. Liquids do not have their own shape and they form to their containers. Gas is really hard to see and is usually at a hotter temperature.

Solids exist at lower temperatures. Molecules are also closer compacted. Liquids are at medium temperatures and they fit to its container. Gas exists in high temperatures and expands to all the area it has.

Matter has different states:solid, liquid, and gas. Liquid can be separeated and could be into a solid. Gas is hard to see and plants need it to live.
