- 1. state in which matter maintains a fixed volume and shape
- 2. subatomic particle which has a neutral in electric charge
- 3. state in which matter expands to occupy the volume and shape of its container
- 6. of consvervation of energy energy cannot be created or destroyed. Energy may change form during a chemical reaction—for example, from chemical energy to heat energy when gas burns in a furnace—but the same amount of energy remains after the reaction as before.
