Fill in the Blanks States of MatterOnline version An activity to test year 9 pupils on the properties of solids, liquids and gases. by Orlagh Cassidy 1 low easily dense container particles Solids regular rapidly compress Everything is made up of , whether a solid , liquid or a gas . have a regular shape , the particles are packed in a pattern . They cannot be compressed - the particles are as close together as they can possibly get . Solids are , there is very little space between the particles . Liquids take up the shape of the bottom of a in which you place them , the particles are not in any fixed position . Liquids are very difficult to , as the particles cannot get much closer . Liquids are quite dense , there is not much empty space between the particles . Gases have no shape , they fill up whatever space is available as the particles move around in all directions . Gases are compressed , the particles have large spaces between them , so it is easy to push them closer together . They have very densities - there are huge amounts of space between particles .
