Question

drag and drop the state of matter and the description to the correct image.
state of matter:
description:
state of matter:
description:
state of matter:
description:
defined shape and volume no defined shape or volume liquid takes shape of container, defined volume gas solid
remember:
when changing the state of matter, heat (energy) must be added or removed. this will speed up or slow down the movement of the particles.

Explanation:

• For the first image (particles spread out), the state of matter is gas as gas particles have no defined shape or volume.
• For the second image (particles closely packed in a fixed arrangement), the state of matter is solid as solids have a defined shape and volume.
• For the third image (particles close but not in a fixed arrangement), the state of matter is liquid as liquids take the shape of the container but have a defined volume.

Answer:

• First image: State of matter - gas, Description - no defined shape or volume
• Second image: State of matter - solid, Description - defined shape and volume
• Third image: State of matter - liquid, Description - takes shape of container, defined volume
