States of Matter

True or False: Sort each statement into 'true' or 'false'. TRUE A liquid takes the volume of its container. Particles of amorphous solids have no definite pattern. Surface tension explains why water forms droplets. A gas spreads out to fill all available space. FALSE There is more gas than any other state of matter in the universe. All states of matter have a fixed mass and fixed volume. Water has greater viscosity than any other liquid. _ causes water to curve upward at the top rim of a glass. viscosity surface tension gravity The volume and shape of a _ are fixed. solid liquid gas State of matter is a(n) _ property of matter. physical chemical The volume and shape of a solid could be changed by placing it in a container with a different shape. putting it in a container with a different volume. cutting or breaking it. An example of an amorphous solid is candle wax. table salt. butter. Surface tension is a force that affects solids. liquids. gases. A liquid's resistance to flowing is known as _ viscosity. surface tension. mass. Which statement is true about plasma? It has a fixed volume. It has a fixed shape. It contains ions. Which state of matter has particles with the least energy? solid liquid gas Which state of matter has the most energy? solid liquid gas The volume of a gas is fixed. equal to its mass. the same as its container. Match each definition with the correct term. state of matter that does not have a fixed volume nor a fixed shape gas state of matter with a fixed volume and a fixed shape solid energy that moves matter kinetic energy ability to cause changes in matter energy state of matter with a fixed volume but not a fixed shape liquid state of matter that consists of ions plasma solid, liquid, gas or plasma state of matter
