PROPERTIES OF MATTER
MEASURING MASS
MEASURING VOLUME
Volume is measured in litres (l) or millilitres (ml). Cubic centimetres (cm3) can
also be used to measure volume.
LIQUIDS SOLID
Measuring cylinders. Regular-shaped Irregular-shaped
Math formula Water method
2. Properties of matter II
DENSITY
Solids have a fixed volume and shape because their atoms are very close
together and cannot move, flow and compressed.
SOLIDS PROPERTIES
Liquids have a fixed volume, but not a fixed shape. Their atoms are
further apart and can move more freely. Liquids can flow, but not
compressed.
LIQUIDS PROPERTIES
Gases do not have a fixed volume or shape. Their atoms are much
further apart and can move more freely. Gases can flow and compressed.
When a gas is compressed, the same amount of matter is pushed into a
smaller amount of space so, the mass is the same but the volume
decrease.
