States of matter (and that's what is at issue here) have to do with atomic or molecular cohesion in the materials being inspected. If the kinetic energy of the group is high enough, atom-to-atom bonds (or molecule-to-molecule bonds) fail and the units of the material will spin, vibrate and in general disco dance away from any partners into the next "upper" state of matter. A solid lead bar holds its shape. At sufficient temperature, the atom-to-atom bonds (the metallic crystal bonds) that maintain the bar's shape fail and the structure falls apart turning into a liquid. A different type of "stickiness" takes place to give the liquid some surface tension, but it will take the shape of its container. (No more bar.) Water (which has taken the shape of its container) will, when heated sufficiently, gain so much energy that the molecules will escape the molecule-to-molecule bonds of the liquid and become a vapor that transitions into the gas we call steam. There are exceptions to the "rule" like when dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) changes directly to a gas (called sublimation) without passing through a liquid phase. There are a range of different "stickiness methods" for materials depending on the temperature and the nature of the atoms/molecules that make up that material. States of matter are a general set of ideas, and are a great place to start when thinking about the macroscopic structure of a stuff.
All substances do exist in all phases at some point (at least theoretically). However, many substances are unlikely to be seen in a certain phase because of their chemical properties. Carbon dioxide, for example, does have a liquid phase, but it is rarely seen at room temperature because solid CO2 sublimes to a gas without moving through the liquid phase. If the proper circumstances were met (usually extreme changes in temperature or pressure), liquid CO2 could be prepared (similar to how liquid nitrogen cannot exist except in extremely low temperatures).
The Triple Point of a substance is the temperature and pressure where solids, liquids, and gasses exist.

No, not all solids can turn into gas. In fact, it is very rare that solids can turn into gas. For example, and ice cube (solid) must melt before becoming gas. Once it is liquified, the water can be boiled to release gas.
no. carbon dioxide gos from a solid form right to a gas form. look up "dry ice"
solid--- wood
liquid--- water
gas--- smoke
Some substances like water (or wax) can undergo observable changes through all three states of matter - solid liquid and gas.
this are solids gases and liquids
Solids and liquids are difficult compress. Gases, however, are easy; they respond to changes in temperature and volume.
expand
I can only tell you that gases are does not have a difinite shape and volume . E.g air / nitrogen / carbon dioxide / water vapour / . . .
Gases spread out faster than liquids, and liquids spread out faster than solids. Gases, liquids, and solids are the three main phases of matter. A material moves to a different phase if its kinetic energy is changed enough (Kinetic energy is a measure of heat or temperature). For example, if you heat an ice cube (solid water), it will melt into water (liquid water). Gases have the highest kinetic energy. The molecules inside a gas are the fastest moving of the three phases. That means gas will spread out the fastest. Kinetic energy: Gas ---> Liquid ---> Solid [Decreasing] Solid ---> Liquid ---> Gas [Increasing]
I think it would be Gas Liquid Solid
yes liquid is matter so is solids and gases
Solids changing to liquids are melting Liquids changing to solids are freezing Solids changing to gas are subliming Liquids changing to gas are boiling Gases changing to liquids are condensing.
No. Although liquids consist of molecules, and so do gases and solids.
Only solids have a definite shape. Neither liquids nor gases have a definite shape.Only solids have a definite shape.

this are solids gases and liquids
Gases the most, then liquids. Solids generally don't diffuse.
some solids,liquids and gases are dangers some are not dangers
The halogens family contain: F and Cl (gases), Br (liquid), I and At (solids).
Not necessarily. It may also be a gas or a solid. In any mixture, the component that is present in the largest proportion is known as a solvent. For example, in our atmosphere, Nitrogen (78% by volume) is the solvent. This is a gaseous mixture.
you can use a scale for weight, a beaker or measuring cup for liquid, and for gases idk
Liquids and gases can vibrate. In fact sound is the vibration of air molecules.
