Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A solid, at a given temperature, has a definite volume

and shape which may be affected by changes in

temperature. Solids usually increase slightly in size

when heated (expansion) and usually

decrease in size if cooled (contraction).A liquid, at a given temperature, has a

fixed volume and will take up the shape of any

container into which it is poured. Like a solid, a

liquid’s volume is slightly affected by changes in

temperature.

A gas, at a given temperature, has neither a definite

shape nor a definite volume. It will take up the shape

of any container into which it is placed and will

spread out evenly within it. Unlike those of solids

and liquids, the volumes of gases are affected quite

markedly by changes in temperature.
