Solid – has a definite shape and definite volume
Crystalline – particles are arranged in patterns
Amorphous – particles have no particular order
Two types of solids

Liquid – no definite shape and has a definite volume
Surface Tension – force acting at the top of a liquid
Mercury
Viscosity – liquids resistance to flow
Ex. Honey – high viscosity
Water – low viscosity
Gas – can change both shape and volume
Plasma – gas like mixture of positive and negatively charged particles
Most common state of matter in the universe (99%)
