From HandWiki Test
A phase is a distinct form of matter with uniform physical properties. Different phases arise from changes in conditions such as temperature and pressure.

Phase diagram showing different phases of matter and transitions between them.
Description
Phases describe states of matter that are homogeneous and stable under given conditions. Transitions between phases occur when external parameters change.
Properties
- uniform properties
- depends on external conditions
- changes via phase transitions
