Give everyday examples and experiments demonstrating each state

Solids:

• Example: Ice cubes, metals, wood.
• Simple experiment: Compress a metal ball or wooden block — shape does not change → fixed volume and shape.

Liquids:

• Example: Water, oil, alcohol.
• Experiment: Pour water into different containers — it takes the shape of each → no fixed shape.

Gases:

• Example: Air, carbon dioxide.
• Experiment: Inflate a balloon — gas fills available space → no fixed volume or shape.

Plasma:

• Example: Lightning, fluorescent tubes, plasma TVs.
• Experiment: A neon sign glows when electric current ionizes the gas → glowing plasma state.

Bose–Einstein Condensate (Advanced Lab Observation):

• Example: Rubidium atoms cooled to near absolute zero behave as one unified quantum particle — visible only in specialized cryogenic experiments.

These examples prove that matter exists in multiple states, and transitions between them are governed by temperature, pressure, and particle energy.
