Question

step 8 which patterns did you observe that would help you classify any sample of matter as a solid, liquid, or gas? compare the observations that you made for the solid, liquid, and gas samples of matter. write can or cannot to make each statement true. gases __________ change shape and ________ change volume. liquids ________ change shape and ________ change volume. solids ________ change shape and __________ change volume.

Explanation:

Gases have particles that are far - apart and move freely, so they can change shape and volume to fill their container. Liquids have particles that are closer together than gases but can still move past each other, allowing them to change shape to fit the container but they have a fixed volume. Solids have particles that are closely packed and in fixed positions, so they cannot change shape or volume easily.

Answer:

Gases can, can
Liquids can, cannot
Solids cannot, cannot
