solids and liquids
Ice, water, and steam appear quite differently to the eye. If you were to look at these three states of matter on the molecular level, you would see that the arrangement of molecules is very different here as well. However, solids and liquids have definite volumes, unlike gases which tend to take on the shape of their container. In this lesson, you will learn about the unique behavior of gas particles on a molecular level and the basis for kinetic molecular theory.
