gas is a state of matter that can be squashed.
Hi! Maleable means it can be hammered into shape that's sort of similar to squashed
state of matter
A physical change is a change to a substance/object which can be easily reversed, and no new substance is formed from it (as opposed to chemical change). The state of matter is usually changed, for example, turning from a solid to a liquid. e.g. ice cube melting
Silver is a solid at room temperature (25 degrees celsius).A solid.
Matter changes both its shape and volume when it is in a gaseous state. Imagine oxygen: if you have a syringe full of oxygen, the oxygen is in the shape of the syringe, but if you let it out, it would readily lose this shape as it escaped into the environment. If you do not let it out, and instead push the syringe, you are compressing the oxygen; in other words, you are making the volume of the oxygen smaller by making it more dense. Oxygen, as with any other gas, does not have a fixed shape or volume.
Items like sponges, soft fruits, and foam can be easily compressed or squashed due to their flexible and porous nature.

Ink is typically a liquid state of matter. It can flow, take the shape of its container, and be easily transferred to a surface.
Flour particles are smaller in size and have less resistance to pressure compared to sand grains. When a force is applied, the smaller flour particles are more easily compressed and squashed together, whereas larger sand grains are able to maintain their individual structure and resist being squashed as easily.

Gases adapt most easily to changes in volume.
Cardboard boxes get easily squashed by a shovel due to the concentrated force applied by the shovel's edge when pressing down on the box. Cardboard is a relatively soft and easily deformable material, making it susceptible to getting crushed under pressure.
The liquid state.
A gas will undergo a change in volume more easily than either a liquid or a solid.
A runny substance typically refers to a liquid state of matter. This is because liquids have a free-flowing characteristic, allowing them to move easily and take the shape of their container.
