THE THREE STATES OF

MATTER

A solid is matter that has a definite shape and
takes up a definite amount of space. The particles
in a solid are close together, like neat and even
stacks of tiny balls. Each particle moves back and
forth around one point. This arrangement of
particles gives a solid its definite shape.

A liquid is matter that takes the shape of its container

and takes up a definite amount of space.

When matter is a liquid, its particles slip and slide

around each other. The particles don’t keep the same
neighbors…they move from place to place. But they still
stay close to each other.

Gas

A gas is matter that has no definite shape and takes up no
definite amount of space. Like particles in liquids, the
particles in gases are not arranged in any pattern. Unlike
particles in liquids, however, particles in gases do not stay
close together. This is because particles in gases are
moving much faster than particles in liquids. A gas
always fills the container it is in.

Multiple Choice

What are the three states of matter?

• solid, volume, mass
• density, volume, mass
• solid, liquid, gas
• density, gas, volume

Multiple Choice

A state of matter that has a definite volume and shape.

• solid

What is solubility?

The measure of the amount of a material
that will

dissolve in another material.

SOLU---BILITY

The ability of one substance to dissolve in another.

What is Insolubility?

The measure of the amount of a material that
will not

dissolve in another material.

inSOLU---BILITY

The ability of one substance to not dissolve in another.

Multiple Choice

Gloves help keep your hands warm in winter because:

• They are conductors of heat.
• They are fuzzy.
• They are conductors of electrical energy.
• They are insulators.

Multiple Choice

An object that doesn't conduct heat well is known as:

• a conductor
• an insulator

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is NOT an insulator?

• Wool
• Plastic
• Copper
• Styrofoam

Multiple Choice

A great conductor of energy is:

• wood

• plastic

• metal

• cloth

Multiple Choice

Mass is the amount of matter that something
contains. A large heavy object such as an

elephant has a lot of mass.

A small, light object such as a

maple leaf has much less mass.
