Regardless of the type of molecule, matter normally exists as either a solid, a liquid or gas. Over the years, plasma emerged with some unique qualities causing scientists to label it as the “fourth phase”. A phase of matter is characterized by having relatively uniform chemical and physical properties. Phases are different from States of matter. The states of matter (e.g., liquid, solid, gas) are phases, but matter can exist in different phases yet remain in the same state of matter. For example, liquid mixtures can exist in multiple phases, such as an oil phase and an aqueous phase. Moreover, the term phase may also be used to describe equilibrium states on a phase diagram. In her article, Dr. Helmenstine emphasized that “When phase is used in this context, it's typically synonymous with a state of matter because the qualities that describe the phase include the organization of matter as well as variables such as temperature and pressure”. (a) Solid When molecules are closely bound together by molecular forces, a solid phase is in place. It holds its shape and the volume is fixed by the shape of the solid.
