Verified step by step guidance

Understand the properties of different states of matter: Solid, Liquid, Gas, and Plasma.
A solid has a fixed shape and fixed volume due to the closely packed arrangement of its particles.
A gas has neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume, as its particles are free to move and spread out to fill the container.
Plasma, like gas, does not have a fixed shape or volume, and consists of charged particles.
A liquid has a fixed volume but takes the shape of its container, as its particles are close together but can move past each other, allowing it to flow.
