Kinetic Theory of Matter-

• The idea that all matter is made of tiny particles in constant, random motion.

• The phase of matter with a definite shape, definite volume, and least thermal energy.

• The phase of matter that can change shape but has a definite volume.

• The phase of matter that can change both shape and volume, and has the highest thermal energy.

Solid-
