The document discusses the four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. It describes the key properties of each state, including how the particles are arranged and how they move. Solids have tightly packed particles that vibrate in a fixed position. Liquids also have tightly packed particles that can slide past one another. Gas particles are far apart and move freely. Plasma has electrically charged particles with no definite shape or volume. The document also provides links to online resources about phase changes and states of matter.

15. STATES OF MATTER LIQUID PLASMA SOLID GAS Tightly packed, in a regular pattern Vibrate, but do not move from place to place Close together with no regular arrangement. Vibrate, move about, and slide past each other Well separated with no regular arrangement. Vibrate and move freely at high speeds Has no definite volume or shape and is composed of electrical charged particles
