States of Matter

States of Matter

All mater is made of atoms or groups of atoms that are in constant motion. This idea is the
basis for the kinetic theory of matter

• Solid: is a substances that has a definite volume and shape
• Liquid: is a substance that has a definite volume but not a definite shape
• Gas: is a substance that does not have a definite volume or shape

The solids have a volume and a definite shape because the atoms are in a determine
position and place that form a object that can feel and touch

The liquids have a definite volume but can change shape because his atoms are in all parts
and in a very small space that separate. The liquids can absorb the shape of the recipient

The gas can change in volume and shape because his atoms are in all parts and have a big
space that separate
