phases of matter
phases\tdescribe (and tell the speed of how fast matter moves)\thow are the molecules arranged (close, far, etc)
solid
liquid
gas
plasma
In solids, molecules vibrate in place slowly and are closely - packed. In liquids, molecules move more freely than in solids, sliding past each other at a moderate speed, and are less closely - packed than in solids. In gases, molecules move rapidly in all directions and are far apart. In plasmas, which are ionized gases, the charged particles move very quickly and are also far apart.
