Phases of Matter

Matter can exist in many phases. The phases most common are solids, liquids, and gases. In Physics, a phase can be described as a region of space in which all physical properties of a material remain constant, or uniform. Having consistent physical properties and chemical uniformity allow one to distinguish between the various phases, or states of matter.
