solid
does not flow, confined shape. set vol
liquid
flows, takes shape of container, mol are as close together as solid, but have more energy
gas
expands, flows like liquid, differing vol and shape, mol can completely break apart from one another
plasma
when mol become so hot they split and break
melting point
the temperature at which a solid turns into a liquid
boiling point
the point at which a liquid turns into a gas or vice versa
