Based on this zoomed-in view, I can clearly see the structure of the table. The three columns are labeled with 's', 'l', and 'g', which stand for Solid, Liquid, and Gas respectively.
Now, let me fill in the blanks for each state:
For Solids (Column 1):
- "have m_____" → All matter has mass, so this should be "mass".
- "have a f_____ volume" → Solids have a fixed volume, so this should be "fixed".
- "have a fixed sh_____" → Solids have a fixed shape, so this should be "shape".
For Liquids (Column 2):
- "have a fixed v_____" → Liquids have a fixed volume, so this should be "volume".
- "fl_____ easily" → Liquids flow easily, so this should be "flow".
For Gases (Column 3):
- "space they take up can ch_____" → Gases can change the space they occupy, so this should be "change".
- "_____ fixed volume" → Gases do not have a fixed volume, so this should be "no" or "not".
- "flow ea_____" → Gases flow easily, so this should be "easily".
Let me now provide the complete solution to the worksheet.
The completed worksheet should read as follows:
States of Matter Properties
| Solid | Liquid | Gas |
|-------|--------|-----|
| have mass | have mass | have mass |
| space they take up stays the same | space they take up stays the same | space they take up can change |
| have a fixed volume | have a fixed volume | no fixed volume |
| have a fixed shape | take on the shape of the container they're in | spread out inside a container |
| do not flow | flow easily | flow easily |
This solution is based on the fundamental properties of the three states of matter:
-
Solids have definite shape and volume.
-
Liquids have definite volume but take the shape of their container.
-
Gases have neither definite shape nor definite volume and will expand to fill their container.
