Particles are very far apart compared to solids and liquids.
Not much freedom for movement of particles

Definite volume & shape.
Definite volume but lack definite shape.

(length)³

1000cm³ = 1000mL = 1dm³ = 1L

MASS AND WEIGHT

Weight- force exerted by gravity on an object.
One should be careful in using these terms and not confuse one with the other.
 

SCIENTIFIC NOTATION

A way of expressing a number which is too large or small written in decimal form.
Repres­ented in the form **N×10n

NOTE- only a single digit should be placed to the left of the decimal point

In the number 452.9646, we bring all the digits to the left-side of the decimal point to the right side except for the first digit. i.e., 4.529646 × 102
eg- 4345.83 = 4.34583 × 103

In the number 0.00023, we bring all the digits from the right-side of the decimal point to the left except for the last digit.
