Let's solve this step by step. The task is to label each object as a
solid,
liquid, or
gas based on the state of matter it represents.
---
🔹 Step 1: Understand the states of matter
-
Solid: Has a definite shape and volume. It doesn't flow.
-
Liquid: Has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container. It flows.
-
Gas: No definite shape or volume; fills the container it's in. It expands to fill space.

Now, let’s go through each image:
---
1. Hot Air Balloon
- The balloon contains
hot air, which is a
gas.
- Even though the balloon itself is solid, the question is asking about the
object shown — in context, the hot air inside makes it float, so we focus on the
air (gas).
✔ Answer: Gas
---
2. Kidney Beans
- These are solid food items with fixed shape and volume.
✔ Answer: Solid
---
3. Milk Carton
- The carton contains
milk, which is a
liquid.
✔ Answer: Liquid
---
4. Cloud with Rain
- The
cloud is made of tiny water droplets suspended in air — technically a
liquid (water) in suspension, but often considered a
gas (water vapor) in the atmosphere.
- However, the
raindrops falling are clearly
liquid.
- Since the image shows rain falling from the cloud, the focus is on
rain, which is
liquid.
✔ Answer: Liquid
---
5. Carrot
- A carrot is a solid vegetable with a fixed shape and volume.
✔ Answer: Solid
---
6. Smoke / Gray Cloud
- This looks like
smoke, which is a mixture of gases and tiny particles. But in general, smoke is considered a
gas because it spreads out and fills space.
✔ Answer: Gas
---
7. Honey Dripping from a Spoon
- Honey is thick, but it flows and changes shape — that’s a
liquid.
✔ Answer: Liquid
---
8. Wind Symbol
- Wind is moving
air, which is a
gas.
✔ Answer: Gas
---
9. Rock
- A rock has a fixed shape and volume — it’s a
solid.
✔ Answer: Solid
