Classification Of Matter As Solids, Liquids And Gases
On the basis of physical states, all the matter can be classified into three groups: Solids, Liquids and Gases.For example :
(i) Sugar, sand, iron, wood, rocks, minerals and ice are solids,
(li) Water, milk, oil, kerosene, petrol and alcohol are liquids, and
(iii) Air, oxygen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and steam are gases.
Solids,liquids and gases are called the three states of matter. In other words, matter exists in three physical states : solid, liquid and gas. The solids, liquids and gaseous forms of matter have different properties. The characteristic properties of solids, liquids and gases are given below. These properties can be used to distinguish between the three states of matter : solid, liquid and gas. Let us start with the properties of solids.
