Answer:
<u>Arraignment
</u>
Gas- (or vapor). Has an unstable shape or volume, it takes the shape or volume of its container. Gas can be compacted into a smaller container or expanded to fit a large container.
Liquid- The volume of liquid is independent from its container, but the shape of the liquid is container- dependent.
Solid- Solid matter has a definitive shape and volume.
<u>Motion
</u>
Gas- Gas molecules move at a high velocity and are far apart, and they are constantly colliding with each other and the walls of the container. When gas molecules are compacted into a smaller container their frequency increases, due to the decreased distance between the molecules.
Liquid- Liquid molecules are crammed close together, but are able to move swiftly causing the molecules to glide over one another, as a result liquid pours easily.
Solid- Solid molecules are arranged in a definite position, thus held tightly together. The molecules can only wiggle slightly, but stay fixed in their position
Explanation: To convert from one state of matter to another, one needs to change the temperature or pressure.
