Solid, Liquid, and Gas

The document discusses the three states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases. [1] Solids have a definite shape and volume, liquids take the shape of their container but have a definite volume, and gases spread out to fill the entire space. [2] The particles in solids are fixed in place, in liquids they are close together but random, and in gases they are far apart. [3] Phase changes between states of matter, like melting, freezing, and vaporization, require an exchange of energy.
