States of Matter

States of Matter

Are there different types of matter? - QuoraKia ora and welcome back to my blog. Recently we have been learning about the states of matter.

The first state of matter is solid, a solid has particles that are not moving and are vibrating. these particles are bonded together. A solid has a fixed shape and volume which means the shape and volume don't change. 

The second state of matter is liquid, the particles in a liquid move a little bit and some of the particles are bonded. A liquid has no fixed shape but has a fixed volume.


The third state of matter is gas, the particles in gas move very quickly and have no bonds which mean they freely move around. A gas has no fixed shape or volume which means a gas is free to roam the world however it wants.

Melting is when a solid gets heated up and changes to a liquid. Evaporating is when a liquid gets heated up and turns into a gas. 

Freezing / solidifying is when a liquid gets cool and turns into a solid and condensing is when a gas gets cool and turns into a liquid.


Thank you for reading my post and I hope you learnt something new.
