State 1 is liquid and State 2 is plasma.

Answer 1

state 1 is a liquid and state 2 is a solid

Answer 2

The states of matter are solid, liquid and gas. Solids have a fixed shape, so you cant really change it's form. Liquids don't have a fixed shape and adapt to the shape of an "object" it is in. Therefore, State 1 is a a liquid, and state 2 is a solid.
