Physical
Analytical
The word "matter" refers to everything in the universe that has mass and
takes up space. All matter is made up of atoms of elements. Sometimes,
atoms bond together closely, while at other times they are scattered widely.
States of matter are generally described on the basis of qualities that can be
seen or felt. Matter that feels hard and maintains a fixed shape is called a
solid; matter that feels wet and maintains its volume but not its shape is
called a liquid. Matter that can change both shape and volume is called a
gas.Just as a liquid will boil, changing into a gas when energy is added, Answer: Increasing energy, Thermal or Heat Energy
heating a gas will form a plasma
PROPERTIES OF MATTER
Some introductory chemistry texts name solids, liquids, and gases as the
three states of matter, but higher level texts recognize plasma as the fourth Any characteristic that can be measured, such as an object's density,
state of matter. Like a gas, plasma can change its volume and shape, but colour, mass, volume, length, malleability, melting point, hardness,
unlike a gas, it can also change its electrical charge. odour, temperature, and more, are considered properties of matter.
Solids
A solid has a definite shape and volume because the molecules that make up
the solid are packed closely together and move slowly. Solids are often
crystalline; examples of crystalline solids include table salt, sugar,
diamonds, and many other minerals. Solids are sometimes formed when
liquids or gases are cooled; ice is an example of a cooled liquid which has
become solid. Other examples of solids include wood, metal, and rock at PhysicalProperties

A gas has neither a definite volume nor a definite shape. Some gases can be Physical Change involves NO change in substance
