Definition

" particles of matter that are in motion,(moving)"

 

 

Term
Solid
Definition

Has a definite shape and volume

examples of solids are, wood, ice, tables, desks

Term

Definition
are packed tightly together to form a more stronger bond
Term
Liquid
Definition
Has a definite volume, but no shape. Takes on the shape of the container its poured into. Examples of liquids are, water, milk.
