Solids, Liquids, and Gases
Solids, liquids, and
gases are the three main, or fundamental phases of
matter. Each one has a different density and a
different level of stability. What determines the
stability of each phase is the bond between it's
atoms. The tighter the bond between it's atoms the
more stable that phase of matter is. Solids are the
most stable form of matter, followed by liquids,
and then gases. Solids have a definite shape and
do not take the shape of their container. Liquids
do not have any definite shape and do take the
shape of their container, the same is true with
gases. Once again it is the bond between the
atoms of
