Types of Solids
-
Metallic
shiny, malleable, ductile; conducts heat and electricity good
-
Covalent network
very hard, not dissolve in water, extremely high melting points
-
Molecular
not conductive, low melting points, variable is hardness
-
-
Gases
-
-
-
the large amounts of space between gas molecules, two or more gases can mix and diffuse quickly and easily with one another.

Plasmas
-
-
Unlike usual gases, plasmas are made up of atoms in which some or all of the electrons have been stripped away and positively charged nuclei, called ions, roam freely.
It forms when the energy levels are so high that the atom breaks down into its component subatomic particles.

Examples
Solar wind, stars (including the Sun), aurorae
Liquids
Surface tension
Surface tension is a physical property equal to the amount of force per unit area necessary to expand the surface of a liquid
-
Vapor pressure
is a measure of the tendency of a material to change into the gaseous or vapour state. It increases with temperature
