States of Matter

=//The particles in solids, liquids and gases are all different because of the volume in the object.  In solids, particles are tightly packed and there is no room for the particles to move around.  In liquids, the particles are still closely packed, but can slide over each other easily.  With gases, particles move freely around because the particles expand to fill the container in which they are trapped in. // //Examples:// //Solids: A book was dropped to the floor and nothing happened. This is because the particles in the solid are so tightly packed they can't move. At all.  // //Liquids: A can of coke has been spilt in a bucket. The particles are quickly filling the whole area of the bottom of the bucket, until it hits the walls.// = = //Gases: A girl has sprayed some "Impulse" in one area of a classroom. Eventually, over a period of time, the particles that filled the air from that one spray of "Impulse" will fill the classroom; making the whole room smelled like the scent that was sprayed. //= ==
