Explore the different phases of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.

Solid

Liquid

Liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, with particles that can move past each other.

Liquid

Gas

Gases have no fixed shape or volume, with particles that move freely and fill their container.
