Explain with experiments the state of matter. |
|
Answer» There are three states of matter solid, liquid and gas. Experiment 1: Press a wooden block and put it on a table. The wooden block does not get compressed and has unchanged shape and size. Result: Solids have a definite shape and a definite volume. The particles in solid are very close to each other. Experiment 2 : Pour water from a bottle to a glass. It takes the shape of glass. Result: Liquids have fixed volume but the shape of liquid depends on the container in which it is poured. The particles of liquid are little far from each other. Experiment 3 : Inflate a balloon and tie it with a thread. Then, open the thread and let it free. Result: Gases do not have definite shape and volume and their particles diffuse at a large distances. |
