2. The three states of matter are…. Liquid, solid, and gas.

3. Give three examples of the three states of matter…

Solid matter: stone, book, table, humans, soil,
liquid matter: water, oil, petrol,
gas matter: hydrogen gas, oxygen gas, nitrogen gas, etc

4. Matter consists of tiny particles which form the building blocks of matter they are…atoms, molecules, and ions.

5. The smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction is called.. Atom

6. The smallest stable particle of an element or a compound that can exist by itself is called.. Molecule

7. A charges atom or a group of atoms that exist together as a charged unit is called.. ion

8. Give two examples of an atom…. Oxygen atom, hydrogen atom, carbon atom, sodium atom.
