✔ True — These are the three common states of matter.
2. Liquids have definite volume.
✔ True — Liquids keep their volume no matter what container they’re in.
3. Gases have definite shape.
✘ False — Gases take the shape of whatever container they’re in. They don’t have a fixed shape.
4. Solids have definite volume and shape.
✔ True — Solids hold both their shape and volume unless you break or change them.
5. Liquids have the ability to flow.
✔ True — That’s why we can pour liquids like water or juice.
6. The particles of gas are closely packed with each other.

7. Liquids follow the shape of its container.
✔ True — Pour water into a cup or a bowl — it takes the shape of that container.
8. Gases have definite volume and definite shape.
✘ False — Gases have neither definite volume nor definite shape. They expand to fill any space.
9. The particles of liquids have particles that are very far from each other.
False — Liquid particles are close together but can slide past each other. It’s gases whose particles are very far apart.
