To determine whether each item is a
solid,
liquid, or
gas, we need to consider the physical state of matter for each substance. Here's the breakdown:
Definitions:
-
Solid: A substance with a definite shape and volume. Particles are closely packed and vibrate in place.
-
Liquid: A substance with a definite volume but not a definite shape. Particles are close together but can move past one another.
-
Gas: A substance with neither a definite shape nor a definite volume. Particles are far apart and move freely.
