Name 3 characteristics of each physical state of matter. Solid:

Liquid:

Gaseous:

solid: Has a definite shape and volume. liquid: Has a definite volume, but take the shape of the container. gas: Has no definite shape or volume. change of state: When matter is converted from one of the three states (example: solid, liquid, or gas) to another state.

Explanation:

Solid:

High Density

Definite mass, volume, and shape

Solids are incompressible and rigid

Liquid:

No definite shape (takes the shape of its container)

Has definite volume.

Particles are free to move over each other but are still attracted to each other.

Gaseous:

They are easy to compress

They expand to fill their containers

They occupy far more space than the liquids or solids from which they form

Explanation:

measuring light intensity

light meters can be used to measure light intensity. the meter is held at the soil surface and pointed in the direction of the maximum light intensity, and then the meter is read.

errors can be made when measuring light intensity by accidentally shading the light meter. the reliability of the results can be checked by taking many samples.
