A state of matter is a general classification of matter based on its macroscopic physical behavior, such as structure and motion of its constituent particles.

Common states of matter include solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.

Quantum matter/state of matter.

Description

States of matter describe broad categories such as solids, liquids, gases, and plasma. These categories reflect how particles are arranged and how they move.

They are closely related to phases, but are typically used in a more general and descriptive sense.

Properties

  • describes macroscopic behavior
  • related to particle arrangement
  • influenced by temperature and pressure
