Solid
Detail #1 : The particles are linked by strong forces, which pull the particles tightly together.
Detail #2 : It maintains a fixed volume and shape.
Detail #3 : It is not easily compressible.
Liquid
Detail #1 : It assumes the shape of the part of the container.
Detail #2 : It flows easily.
Detail #3 : It has little free space between particles.
Gas
Detail #1 : It assumes the shape and volume of its container.
Detail #2 : It is compressible.
Detail #3 : The particles can move past one another.
Plasma

Detail #2 : It is strongly influenced by electric and magnetic fields.
Detail #3 : It is a High-ionized gas.
Bose-Einstein Condensate
Detail #1 : Happens at super low temperatures.
Detail #2 : The atoms in BEC are opposites.
Detail #3 : A large fraction of Bosons occupy the lowest quantum state.
