Liquid water can be hotter than 100 °C (212 °F) and colder than 0 °C (32 °F). Heating water above its boiling point without boiling is called superheating.

Superheated water is liquid water under pressure at temperatures between the usual boiling point, 100 °C (212 °F) and the critical temperature, 374 °C (705 °F).

GAS

The solid phase is the coldest phase. If you heat a liquid enough, it will change into the gas phase of matter. That’s the hottest phase of matter. The gas phase of water is steam.

Gas can be compressed much more easily than a liquid or solid.

LiquidsEdit Because the particles can move, liquids don’t have a definite shape, and they can flow. Because the particles are still packed close together, liquids can’t easily be compressed and keep the same volume.

Solids are held in fixed positions, they can only vibrate. Because the particles can not move, solids have a definite shape and volume, and can’t flow. Because the particles are already packed closely together, solids can’t easily be compressed.

The answer is yes, You can compress water, or almost any material. However, it requires a great deal of pressure to accomplish a little compression. For that reason, liquids and solids are sometimes referred to as being incompressible. You probably have experienced compressing something as hard as steel.

Gas. The atoms and molecules in gases are much more spread out than in solids or liquids. A gas will fill any container, but if the container is not sealed, the gas will escape. Gas can be compressed much more easily than a liquid or solid.

If we put pressure on a solid or a liquid, there is essentially no change in volume. The atoms, ions, or molecules that make up the solid or liquid are very close together. There is no space between the individual particles, so they cannot pack together.

There are 3 states of matter. These are solid, liquid, and gas. (a). The solid-state has the strongest intermolecular forces of attraction and…

Three states of matter exist—solid, liquid, and gas. Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but take the shape of the container. Gases have no definite shape or volume.

In a liquid, the particles are still in close contact, so liquids have a definite volume. However, because the particles can move about each other rather freely, a liquid has no definite shape and takes a shape dictated by its container.

VOLUME. Although they look very different, these two containers contain the same volume of liquid. The volume of a liquid is the amount of space it takes up. Although liquids change their shape when moved from one container to another, their volume always stays the same.

The properties we look at are shape, mass, and volume. Mass is the amount of matter an object has, and volume is the amount of space the matter takes up. Solids are easy to recognize. They have definite shape, mass, and volume.

solid: Has a definite shape and volume. liquid: Has a definite volume, but take the shape of the container.

Tell students that everything they can see and touch is called matter. Explain that all matter on Earth exists in the form of a solid, liquid, or gas, and that solids, liquids, and gases are all made of extremely tiny particles called atoms and molecules.
