States of Matter: Different forms that matter can take, characterized by the arrangement and movement of particles. These include solids, liquids, and gases, and can change from one state to another through physical processes like heating or cooling (see section 4).
Solid: A state of matter where particles are tightly packed in a fixed, orderly arrangement, vibrating in place but not moving freely. Solids have a definite shape and volume. When heated, particles gain energy and vibrate more, eventually leading to melting (see section 4).
Liquid: A state of matter where particles are close together but not in a fixed position, allowing them to flow past each other. Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container. Heating increases particle movement, leading to evaporation or boiling (see section 4).
Gas: A state of matter where particles are widely spaced and move freely in all directions. Gases have neither a fixed shape nor volume and can expand to fill their container. Cooling causes particles to lose energy, resulting in condensation or solidification (see section 4).
