Solids, Liquids, & Gases

A substance with definite volume but no definite shape is a(n)

• crystalline solid

• Liquid

• gas

• amorphous solid

Unlike solids and liquids, a gas will

• keep its volume in different containers

• Keep its shape in different containers

• Expand to fill the space available to it

• Have its volume decrease when the temperature rises

The process in which a gas cools and becomes a liquid is called

• evaporation

• sublimination

• boiling

• condensation

Charles's Law states that with a constant pressure, the volume of a gas will
