200
The physical forms in which a substance can exist; states include solid, liquid, and gas.
What are states of matter.
200
The change of state from a solid to a liquid.
What is melting.

What is plasma.
300
The change of state from a liquid to a solid.
What is freezing.
300
The amount of force exerted on a given area. (Hint: to squash something is to put more of this on it.)
