The States of Matter: Exploring Solids, Liquids, and Gases

TLDRThis video explores the three states of matter - solid, liquid, and gas. It provides examples and explanations of each state, helping you understand their properties and differences.

Key insights

🔳Solids, like a rubber duck and a statue, maintain a fixed shape and volume.

💧Liquids, like water and maple syrup, take the shape of the container they're in.

💨Gases, such as the air from a hairdryer or smoke from a chimney, don't have a definite shape or volume.

📏Solids, like marbles and Rubik's cubes, have a fixed size.

Common Questions: Is water a solid, liquid, or gas? Is air inside a balloon a solid, liquid, or gas?
