What properties do all solids, liquids, and gases have?

Answer 1

The properties that spring to mind are:

Mass, Volume, Density, Temperature

The properties listed should be evident to all solids, liquids, and gases.

Refractive index applies to gases, liquids, and some solids; however, if a solid seems completely opaque, then refractive index may not be an obvious property. Similarly, viscosity is not obviously applicable to most solids. Most other possibilities seem to be absent at times, or at least not an obvious property. For instance, opacity may not be an obvious property of gases, though they may have some small effect on the passage of light - especially if the volume of gas is large.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
