Solid
Molecules are tightly packed in a regular pattern and vibrate in fixed positions
Liquid
Molecules are closely packed but can slide past each other, allowing the liquid to flow
Gas
Molecules move freely and rapidly in all directions, filling any container they are in
Plasma
Ionized gas with molecules that have been broken apart into positively charged ions and free electrons
Melting
Transition from solid to liquid, at the melting point temperature
Freezing
Transition from liquid to solid, at the freezing point temperature
Evaporation
Transition from liquid to gas, below the boiling point due to increase in surface energy
Condensation
Transition from gas to liquid, as vapor cools and loses kinetic energy
