Matter is another form of energy as demonstrated in Einstein's famous e = m c^2 equation. Energy (matter) cannot be destroyed, it can only be changed into another form.
In a nuclear explosion, some of the matter and some of the binding energy is converted into heat and light, but the total equivalent matter still exists.
For matter in its everyday state, it may be in the form of Solid, liquid, gas, plasma.
In a steady state, :-
A solid is of a fixed volume, is essentially incompressible, and its shape may be changed.
A liquid is also of fixed volume, can be compressed (but not easily), and it will take up the shape of its container.
A Gas will expand to fill its container, and is easily compressed.
A Plasma is an excited gas, and is composed of partly ionized gases.
[Bose-einstein Condensate is a rather special state of matter and along with other esoteric forms of matter (fermionic condensates, and quark-gluon plasmas) are beyond this simple answer. ]

∙ 13y agoThe phases of matter are Solid, Liquid, and Gas.
Solid - has definite size, shape, and weight. The particles of solid are packed
tightly together.
Liquid - has fixed volume but have no shape. The particles of liquid are not
packed so tightly together.
Gas - has no fixed shape and volume. The particles of gas are very far apart.

What state of matter can be used in hydraulic systems?
State? Or phase? It would be a liquid phase. But its state is unknown since the state of a substance includes its pressure, temperature AND phase. Phase is a part of a state, but a state is not a phase.
How you convert the value of single phase power to value of 3 phase power?
Electric power is measured in watts. It does not matter if it is single phase or three phase. All things being equal, for the same load, the power measured in a single phase circuit or a three phase circuit, will be the same.
What is the difference between phase and frequency?
No matter what frequency, there are 360 degrees that can be associated with it (the phase). Here's an equation to summarize: V(t) = A sin ([w*t] + p) A is amplitude w = frequency p = phase shift
3 phase hots does it matter where the wild leg goes?
Your question is not very clear, but usually the higher voltage 'wild leg' goes on the "B" phase terminals in breaker boxes. However, I have seen it on the "C" phase as well.
Why do you have voltage to ground but not voltage phase to phase?
There is phase to phase voltage in 3 phase system.AnswerYou don't get voltage 'phase-to-phase'; it's 'line-to-line'!
What phase of matter consits of vibrating in place?
the solid phase of matter
What is Jupiter's phase of matter?
Jupiter's phase of matter is a 'gas giant'.
Is smoke a example of matter?
Yes, particulate matter in the solid phase and matter in the gaseous phase.
What is the 4th phase of matter?
some people soy that there is no 4 phase of matter but some say plasma is the 4 phase of matter
What phase of matter are metamorphic rocks?
All rocks are in the solid phase of matter.
Is mixture a phase of matter?
yes it's the cross of two or more phases of matter which becomes another phase of matter
What is it called to change states of matter?
Phase change. Liquid phase to gaseous phase (evaporation) Liquid phase to solid phase (solidification, freezing) Solid phase to gaseous phase (sublimation9 Etc...
What phase of matter does light travel fastest in?
Light travels in the air phase of matter compared to the liquids and solids.
What phase of matter has a definite size and volume but not a definite shape?
Solids are the only phase of matter which have a fixed shape and volume.
What phase of matter is most affected by a change in pressure?
gas phase
Which phase of matter would have the most kinetic energy?
This is the solid phase.
Which phase of matter do particles have the most energy and the least energy?
Particles of matter have their least kinetic energy in the solid phase and their greatest kinetic energy in the gas phase.
