To say if something is a liquid a solid or a gas is to say what state of matter it is in. If it is a solid the thing is a 'hard' object and the molecules of that particular object are slow moving and the bonds which connect atoms are tight. In a liquid the the molecules move faster and the bonds in between them are looser and a liquid can also 'change' it's shape. In a gas there are are no bonds between the molecules. A gas is the air that surrounds us.

What does melting point and freezing point mean?

The melting point is the temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid, while the freezing point is the temperature at which a liquid changes to a solid. Both points represent the equilibrium between the solid and liquid phases of a substance.


What does dissovle mean?

To dissolve means to mix a solid substance into a liquid to form a solution, where the solid particles disperse evenly throughout the liquid. This process typically involves the breaking down of the solid particles at a molecular level so they are no longer distinguishable in the liquid.

Iodine sublimes what does this mean?

Sublimation is the process where a substance changes directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid phase. In the case of iodine, when it is heated, it transforms from a solid to a purple gas without forming a liquid.
