Solid
Solid – definite volume and shape; particles packed in fixed positions.
Liquid
Liquid – definite volume but indefinite shape;
particles close together but not in fixed positions
Gas
Gas – neither definite volume nor definite shape; particles are at great distances from one another
Plasma – high temperature, ionized phase of matter as found on the sun. (not really emphasized in
