Gases, Liquids, Solids, Plasma
Def of Gases
Possess neither volume nor shape, they expand indefinitely Ex: Steam
Def of Liquids
Possess Volume and assume the shape of the container Ex; Water
Def of Solids
Possess volume and shape, they can not be compressed Ex: Ice cube
Def of Plasma
A mixture of ionized gas and free floating electrons. Some believe that more than 99% of the universe’s matter is plasma
