| Solid | Has a definite shape and volume. Particles are very close together and don't move past each other. keeps shape |
| Liquid | Definite volume but not shape particles can move past each other takes shape of volume |
| Gas | No definite shape or volume.Particles spread out evenly and take shape of container. Can be squeezed into smaller volume |
| Plasma | Like a gas but conducts electricity like a metal occurs with high temps or electric charge. |
| Melting Point | When solid to liquid or liquid solid. Sane temp as freezing point. |
| Evaporation | When liquids become a gas. |
| Condensation | When gas become a liquid. Gas particles touch cold surface and the temperature drops. |
