SOLID General properties: fixed volume

and shape: atoms very closed to

CHANGES from one state to another each other. They CAN’T FLOW and
CAN’T be compressed.
Examples:
Specific properties: elasticity, flexibility,
fragility,strength.

LIQUID General properties: fixed volume:

STATES atoms can move. They flow andbe
compressed.
DEFINITION: Specific properties: viscosity, volatility.

GAS General properties: NO fixed volume or

MATTER shape: atoms can move. They flow and be
compressed.

PLASMA: It is created by adding energy to a gas so

that some of its electrons leave its atoms.
