States of Matter

Matter=is an object with mass and volume.
Solid- The particles squished together, slightly vibrating. The particles have broken natural bound but still are close together.
Liquid-There is more vibration between the particles and their natural bound is broken apart. (Vibration tends to force objects apart.) A Solid to a liquid is caused when more energy(vibration) is added.
Gas-The particles are know independent(no interaction) and are moving more faster. A liquid becomes a solid when more energy(vibration) is given to an object.

States of Matter
