What is matter?

Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass. It is composed of atoms, which are the basic building blocks of all substances in the universe. Matter can exist in various forms, including solid, liquid, and gas, and can undergo physical and chemical changes.

Name three states of matter.

The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.

What is a solid?

A solid is a state of matter characterized by particles that are closely packed together in a fixed arrangement, giving the substance a definite shape and volume. Solids have strong intermolecular forces that hold the particles in place, resulting in a rigid structure that does not easily change shape or flow.

Give an example of a liquid.

Water is an example of a liquid.

Name a gas that we can breathe.

Oxygen is a gas that we can breathe.

What happens to water when it freezes?

When water freezes, it undergoes a phase transition from a liquid to a solid state. Its molecules slow down and come closer together, forming a crystalline structure with a specific arrangement. As a result, water expands and becomes less dense when it freezes, which is why ice floats on liquid water.

What happens to ice when it melts?

When ice melts, it changes from a solid state to a liquid state. The molecules in the ice gain enough thermal energy to overcome the forces holding them together in a rigid structure, causing them to move more freely and flow past each other, resulting in the transformation from ice to water.

How does a balloon filled with air change when it is deflated?

When a balloon filled with air is deflated, the volume of air inside the balloon is reduced, causing the balloon to shrink in size and become smaller. As the air is released, the pressure inside the balloon decreases, leading to a decrease in the tension of the balloon's surface, resulting in a softer and more flexible texture. Additionally, the buoyancy of the balloon decreases, causing it to lose its ability to float or rise, and it may eventually sink or rest on the ground.

Name three examples of everyday objects made of plastic.

A water bottle, a toothbrush, and a food container are three examples of everyday objects that are commonly made of plastic.

Can matter change from one state to another? Give an example.

Yes, matter can change from one state to another through processes such as melting, freezing, evaporation, and condensation. For example, when ice (solid) is heated, it melts into water (liquid), and when the water is further heated, it boils into water vapor (gas). This demonstrates a change from a solid to a liquid and then to a gas state.
