Properties of the Phases of Matter

• Solid Keep their shape unless they are broken,
  do not flow, cannot be compressed.
• Liquid Do not keep their shape, they take the
  shape of the container they are in, flow, cannot
  be compressed.
• Gas Do not keep their shape, they completely
  fill the container that they are in, flow, spread
  out quickly from where they are to start with
  (diffusion), can be compressed (squashed into a
  much smaller volume)
