| States of Matter | | Elements, compounds and mixtures can be in various states like solids, liquids or gaseous. These are the three states of matter that we see in our everyday lives. | | States of matter are due to physical changes and not chemical changes between molecules or atoms. | | The distance between neighboring atoms or molecules in a substance decides how tightly the binding is . In a solid, the atoms or molecules are very tightly bound. In comparison, in a liquid the binding is not very strong. In a gaseous state the binding is even weaker. |  | | Previous | Next |
