Properties of Solids
1. Shape: Solids have a fixed shape.
2. Volume: Solids have a fixed volume.
3. Density: Solids have a fixed density.
4. Rigidity: Solids are rigid and maintain their shape.
Properties of Liquids
1. Shape: Liquids take the shape of their container.
2. Volume: Liquids have a fixed volume.
3. Density: Liquids have a fixed density.
4. Fluidity: Liquids can flow and change shape.
Properties of Gases
1. Shape: Gases have no fixed shape.
2. Volume: Gases have no fixed volume.
3. Density: Gases have a low density.
4. Compressibility: Gases can be compressed.
Changes in State of Matter
1. Melting: Solids change to liquids when heated.
2. Freezing: Liquids change to solids when cooled.
3. Evaporation: Liquids change to gases when heated.
4. Condensation: Gases change to liquids when cooled.
