Settings

Solid, liquid, and gas are the three states of matter which we observe in our surroundings. We all know that matter is made up of small particles which might be atoms, molecules, or ions moving continuously, and particle theory helps in explaining behavior and properties. This quiz has been developed to test your knowledge about the theory and process. Let's try out the quiz. All the best!
