Gas

• Gas is matter that has no definite shape. Gases
  take the shape of whatever container they are in.
• Molecules in a gas are widely scattered.
• Example The air all around us is a gas.

• A Physical change is a change in how matter
  looks, but not the kind of matter is it is.
• Tear
• Cut
• Folded
• Written
• Liquid
• Solid
• Gas
• Mixture
