Drag the tiles to the boxes to form correct pairs. match each state of matter with the statement that best describes it. plasma particles move past each other freely but do not go far apart. gas particles are so hot that electrons are stripped from atoms. liquid it retains its shape regardless of the shape of the container. solid it expands to fill the volume of the container.

State of matter is defined as a form in which matter can exist. There are four states of matter known till date. They are as follows:

Solid: Matter is said to be in solid state if it has definite shape and volume. The components of matter are closely packed and have fixed positions within the matter.

Liquid: In liquid state, matter has fixed volume but shape is not fixed, it takes the shape of container in which it is placed. The particles of liquid are close but can move freely or do not have fixed positions.

Gas: Matter in gaseous state has variable volume and shape. The particles of gas are very far from each other thus, they are in constant motion without any fixed position..

Plasma: This state of matter has variable shape and volume. It has neutral atoms, the number of ions and electrons are significant and can move freely in the matter. In order to make plasma, energy is required to strip electron from atom.

According to above definitions, the state of matter is matched with the given statements as follows:

Plasma-Particles are so hot that electrons are stripped from atoms.

Gas-It expands to fill the volume of the container.

Liquid-Particles move past each other freely but do not go fat apart.

Solid-It retains its shape regardless of the shape of the container.

The state of matter with the statement that best describes it include the following:

Matter can be defined as anything that has mass and can occupy space.

This ultimately implies that, any physical object or substance that is found on planet Earth is typically composed of matter.

Since all matter are made up of atoms, they have a property of existing in three (3) distinct states and these include;

I. Solid: it is a distinct state of matter in which the physical substance has a definite shape and fixed volume.

II. Liquid: it is a distinct state of matter in which the physical substance can be poured and takes the shape of its container.

III. Gas: it is a distinct state of matter in which the physical substance has no definite shape or volume and as such, it fills all available space.

On the other hand, a plasma refer to hot particles which result in the stripping of electrons from atoms.
