We know that solid, liquid, gas and plasma are the "big four" states of matter. The differences between them lie mainly in the energy of the material being looked at. If we consider water, for example, it is cold when it is the solid we call ice. Warm it up and it melts to become the liquid with which we are all familiar. Warm it even more and it turns into the gas we call water vapor or steam. By superheating it, we can even supply so much energy to it that one or more electrons will leave the atoms in the molecule. This creates a plasma. The other differences between the states of matter involve their shape. Solids are just that -- solid, and they maintain their shape. Liquids take the shape of their container because they are fluids. Gases are fluids as well, and will "escape" if not completely confined in some way. This is in contrast with a glass of liquid water, which stays in the glass even though there is no lid on it. The changes between the states of matter are physical changes (as opposed to chemical ones), and they are energy dependent. Think this through and it will make sense and lock in.
They are all states of matter. Solids are joined by strong physical bonds, gases are joined by no physical bonds and liquids have weak physical bonds. Plasma is similar to gas but has no electrons.
Solid- A solid is a sample of matter that retains its shape and density when not confined. The adjective solid describes the state, or condition, of matter having this property.
Liquid- The state of matter in which a substance exhibits a characteristic readiness to flow, little or no tendency to disperse, and relatively incompressible.
Gas- It is characterized by it's low density. The other states of matter are liquid and solid. Many objects can go through all states.
Plasma- Plasma is a state of matter similar to gas in which a certain portion of the particles are ionized. Heating a gas may ionize (reduce or increase the number of electrons in) its molecules or atoms, therefore turning it into a plasma.

***********************
These are all states of matter.
They are all different states of matter. Plasma-is in stars Solid-(simple)-rock,paper,pen,pencil-all the obvious Liquid-water, lemonade Gas-nitrogen, carbon
Plasma is not a solid, liquid or gas. It is something very hot, purple and blue.
They are called the states of matter.
solid, liquid, gas, plasma
Solid, liquid, gas, or plasma. A substance can occur in any one these states. All matter occurs in one of these 4 states. These are the 4 states of matter.
Magma is not plasma since plasma is neither solid ,liquid or gas while magma is always solid when cool and liquid when hot.
Some states of matter are solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. These are distinct and different forms in which matter can exist in nature.
Everything around you is either a solid, liquid, or gas. (Or plasma, counting the 4th state of matter)
solid, liquid, gas, plasma
it isn't a solid, liquid, nor a gas. IT IS PLASMA :P
Carbon is a solid most of the time, but can be made into a liquid, gas, or plasma.

Matter is different solid liquid and gas
The kinds of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.
There's a bit more than 3. gas -> liquid (condensation) liquid -> gas (evaporation) liquid -> solid (freezing) solid -> liquid (melting) solid -> gas (sublimation) gas -> solid (deposition) gas -> plasma (ionozation) Plasma -> gas (deionozation)
The four states of matter are commonly referred to as solid, liquid, gas and plasma.
Ironisation is the process of changing gas into plasma. Other processes of changing state include: Solid -> liquid = melting Liquid -> gas = condensation Gas -> liquid = evaporation Liquid -> solid = freezing Solid <- -> Gas = sublimation
