States of Matter - Solid, Liquid
Have you noticed how ice is solid and keeps its form, but water flows and reshapes to fit any container? It happens because matter exists in different states, and two of the most common states are solids and liquids, which behave in distinct ways.
A solid, such as ice, has a fixed shape and volume. It does not change form unless it is broken or melted.
The particles in the solid are tightly packed together, vibrating slightly but staying in place. This tight arrangement gives solids their hardness and rigidity.
In contrast, liquids like water have a fixed volume but can change shape. They flow and adapt to the shape of their container.
Unlike solids, the particles in the liquid are close together but can slide past one another, allowing the liquid to move freely.
Matter can exist in different forms, for example, an iceberg floating in a lake represents water in its solid state, while the lake itself showcases water in its liquid state.
This illustrates how matter changes form based on temperature and energy levels.
