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].
