The different states of matter are solids, liquids, gases, and plasma. Solids have a defined shape and volume, with particles tightly packed together, moving slowly [5]. Liquids have a defined volume but take the shape of their container; particles are more spread out and less organized than in solids [3][5]. Gases lack both a defined volume and shape, expanding to fill their container with particles that move randomly and freely [3][5][6]. 

Plasma, similar to gas, does not have a defined volume or shape but contains charged particles, making it electrically conductive [5]. Additionally, other states of matter, such as Bose-Einstein condensate and superfluid, exist under specific conditions [3][6].
