What is matter?
Answer
Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. Everything around us—like books, water, and air—is made of matter.
Name the three states of matter.
Answer
The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. For example: ice (solid), water (liquid), and steam (gas).
Why can't we compress a solid easily?
Answer
Solids have tightly packed molecules with very little space between them. This makes it hard to squeeze or compress them.
Why do liquids take the shape of their container?
Answer
Liquids have loosely packed molecules that can move around. They flow and take the shape of the container they are poured into, but their volume stays the same.
Why does a gas fill the entire room when released?
Answer
Gas molecules are far apart and move quickly in all directions. They spread out to fill all the available space, so the gas spreads throughout the room.
Give two examples each of solids, liquids, and gases.
Answer
Solids: book, chair. Liquids: milk, oil. Gases: air, cooking gas. These are all forms of matter found in daily life.
What happens when ice is heated?
Answer
When ice is heated, it melts and changes into water. This process is called melting. It occurs at 0°C.
What is evaporation?
Answer
Evaporation is the process in which a liquid changes into gas on heating. For example, water turns into steam when boiled.
