States of matter are the distinct forms that different phases of matter take on. Historically‚ the distinction is made based on qualitative differences in bulk properties. Solid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume and shape; liquid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume but adapts to the shape of its container; and gas is the state in which matter expands to occupy whatever volume is available. This diagram shows the nomenclature for the different phase transitions

States of matter Four fundamental states: Solid - In a solid the particles (ions‚ atoms or molecules) are packed closely together. As a result‚ a solid has a stable‚ definite shape‚ and a definite volume. Solids can only change their shape by force‚ as when broken or cut. Liquid - A liquid is a nearly incompressible fluid that conforms to the shape of its container but retains a (nearly) constant volume independent of pressure. The volume is definite if the temperature and pressure are constant

In this unit I learned about the extensive and intensive properties of matter. An extensive property is a property of matter that depends on the changes of the substances shape or amount. An intensive property is a property of matter that doesn’t depend on the substances shape or amount. The purpose of this investigation was to prove that density is
