Workshop - Material science

Solid is a state of matter in which the object has a definite shape and volume

A liquid is a shape where the material has a define volume but no define shape

A gas is a state of matter in which a substance has no definite shape and no definite Volume.

A plasma is a state of matter which has no definite volume an definite shape. The electrons of the plasma tend to have an abundance of free electrons. Therefore it behaves differently than gas.
