Answer:
The three states of matter are the three distinct physical forms that matter can take in most environments: solid, liquid, and gas. In extreme environments, other states may be present, such as plasma, Bose - Einstein condensates, and neutron stars.

Adding or removing energy from matter causes a physical change as matter moves from one state to another. For example, adding thermal energy (heat) to liquid water causes it to become steam or vapor (a gas). And removing energy from liquid water causes it to become ice (a solid).
There are three common states of matter:
- Solids – relatively rigid, definite volume and shape. In a solid, the atoms and molecules are attached to each other. ...
- Liquids – definite volume but able to change shape by flowing. In a liquid, the atoms and molecules are loosely bonded. ...
- Gases – no definite volume or shape.
