The States of Matter Solids A solid matter is made up of particles that are held tightly together. It has a definite and unchanging shape and volume, and it does not follow the shape of its container.

Liquids Liquid matter is made up of loosely

held particles that flow around each

other. It does not have a definite shape and will adjust to the shape of its container.

Gases The particles that make up gas are distant and have low attraction to

each other. Gas has no definite shape or volume. It will spread out to fill its container and if uncovered or

unsealed, will continuously spread out.

Plasma Plasma is similar to gas but with highly charged particles. It is an ionized gas and has the ability to conduct

electricity. The sun is in the plasma

state. Plasmas are also found in some neon signs and fluorescent lights.

Bose-Einstein Condensates The Bose-Einstein condensate can only be achieved in certain lab conditions.

At an extremely low temperature close to absolute zero, the atoms in some

elements clump together and behave like a single "super atom."
