Answer:

The Phases of Matter are Solid, Liquid, and Gas. With Plasma as an exception. Solids are defined by their structural stiffness and resistance to form or volume changes

Hope this helps.

Answer:

The Phases of Matter are Solid, Liquid, and Gas. With Plasma as an exception. Solids are defined by their structural stiffness and resistance to form or volume changes. A liquid is a compressible fluid is one that adapts to the geometry of its container while maintaining a consistent volume regardless of pressure. Gas compresses easily, expands to fill containers, and takes up significantly more space than the liquids or solids from which it is formed. Plasma has no fixed shape or solid volume just like gas. That's the best I can explain, hope you find it helpful!
