Solid: Solids have a fixed shape and volume due to closely packed particles arranged in a regular, often crystalline structure. The particles vibrate but do not move freely, which gives solids their rigidity and resistance
to shape change.
Liquid: In the liquid state, matter maintains a fixed volume but adopts the shape of its container. The particles are close together but not in a fixed position, allowing them to move and flow, which makes liquids adaptable and able to pour.
Gas: Gases have neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume. The particles are widely spaced and move rapidly in all directions, allowing gases to expand and fill any container they are in. The compressibility and fluidity of gases are key characteristics.
Plasma: Plasma is a high-energy state of matter where atoms are ionized, meaning electrons are stripped away, creating a mixture of free electrons and ions. It is the most common state of matter in the universe, found in stars, including the sun, and in artificial forms like neon signs and plasma TVs.
