Phases of Matter

In chemistry, their are many states or phases of matter but most people really like to focus on the three main phases solid,liquid, and gas.

Solid- Solid is probably the most well known phases of matter. Solid isn't like the gas or liquid, it won't spread out when you put it in a container and it won't evaporate. Solid is also solid. It won't split up when you touch it like water.

Liquid- Liquid is very different from a solid. Liquid's will always spread out when poured into a container and it will evaporate.

Gas- Gas is very different from a solids and liquids. Gas will be created when a liquid reaches it boiling point or when a solid reaches its melting point.
