Structure of matter

Matter comes in different forms called states of matter

The three states of matter are: solid, liquid and gas

Each state of matter has its own characteristics, such as:

- The solid state keeps a constant shape and volume, cannot be compressed and cannot drain.

- The liquid state takes the shape of the container, keeps the volume constant, cannot be compressed, can flow

- The gaseous state takes the shape and volume of the container, can be compressed and can flow
