1. States of Matter I. Describing the States of Matter: A. Solids – is the state of matter in which materials have a definite shape and volume. 1. The word definite means that the shape and volume of a solid will not change as you move it from place to place. 2. The word definite does not mean that the shape or volume can never change. B. Liquids – is the state of matter in which a material has a definite volume but not a definite shape. 1. A liquid always has the same shape as its container. 2. Its volume however is the same in any container.

2. C. Gases – Is the state of matter in which a material has neither a definite shape or definite volume. 1. A gas takes on the shape and volume of its container. 2. Example: The total volume of the helium in the metal cylinders would be much less than the total volume of the balloons that could be filled up by that helium. 1.
