A substance can take on three physical states: Solid, liquid, or gas. The main physical changes from a thermodynamic standpoint are the amount of entropy(disorder) of the molecules of the substance. Density, temperature, volume are also characteristically different at each physical state and can be used to manipulate compounds between the three.
