To solve the worksheet on "States of Matter," let's carefully analyze each question and fill in the blanks based on our understanding of solids, liquids, and gases.
Key Concepts:
1.
Solid: Fixed shape and volume.
2.
Liquid: Takes the shape of its container but has a fixed volume.
3.
Gas: No fixed shape or volume; particles are far apart and move freely.
