Week2_Prompt#2

Physical properties affect the states of matter in very different ways. First, I would like to talk about solids. Solids have a definite volume and shape but when placed inside of certain conditions the properties change. When you put a solid in a heated container it begins to melt and turns into a liquid such as melting ice. When put into a frozen or cold container the solid stays solid ,but may feel harder because of being frozen. Secondly, I would like to talk about liquids. Liquids do not have a definite shape ,but liquids have a definite volume as long as temperature and pressure stays constant. liquid when heated turns to a gas and when frozen it turns in to a solid Example s of both these things would be evaporation, boiling water, or freezing water. Lastly, I would like to talk about gases. Gases do not have a definite shape or volume. Gases are all around air is even a gas. Even though a gas can not me measured or even seen it can still be con fined inside of a container. That was how physical properties affect the states of matter in a different container.
