state | mass | shape | volume | expanding on heating | compressi- bility | example |
solid | definite | definite | definite | real low | no | rock, wood and glass |
liquid | definite | indefinite | definite | slightly | low | water, milk and gasoline |
gas | definite | indefinite | indefinite | large | easy | oxygen,hydrogen and carbon dioxide |
The patterns I noticed:
- All three states have a definite mass
- Gas is least definite because it has indefinite shape and volume and it is easily compressed
- Expanding on heating and compressibility increase from solid to gas
- Solid state has all physical properties definite
