  2. State of matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_matter

    Simple illustration of particles in the solid state – they are closely packed to each other. In a solid, constituent particles (ions, atoms, or molecules) are closely packed together. The forces between particles are so strong that the particles cannot move freely but can only vibrate. As a result, a solid has a stable, definite shape, and a ...

  3. Plasma (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_(physics)

    Plasma (from Ancient Greek πλάσμα (plásma) 'moldable substance' [1]) is one of four fundamental states of matter (the other three being solid, liquid, and gas) characterized by the presence of a significant portion of charged particles in any combination of ions or electrons.

  4. List of particles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_particles

    Elementary particles are particles with no measurable internal structure; that is, it is unknown whether they are composed of other particles. [1] They are the fundamental objects of quantum field theory. Many families and sub-families of elementary particles exist. Elementary particles are classified according to their spin.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_of_matter

    The particles are held very close to each other. Amorphous solid: A solid in which there is no far-range order of the positions of the atoms. Crystalline solid: A solid in which atoms, molecules, or ions are packed in regular order. Quasicrystal: A solid in which the positions of the atoms have long-range order, but this is not in a repeating ...

    Suspended solids may be held in a liquid, while solid or liquid particles suspended in a gas together form an aerosol. Particles may also be suspended in the form of atmospheric particulate matter, which may constitute air pollution. Larger particles can similarly form marine debris or space debris.

  7. Aerosol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerosol

    Mist and fog are aerosols. An aerosol is a suspension of fine solid particles or liquid droplets in air or another gas. [1] Aerosols can be generated from natural or human causes.The term aerosol commonly refers to the mixture of particulates in air, and not to the particulate matter alone. [2]

  8. Crystal structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_structure

    The positions of particles inside the unit cell are described by the fractional coordinates (x i, y i, z i) along the cell edges, measured from a reference point. It is thus only necessary to report the coordinates of a smallest asymmetric subset of particles, called the crystallographic asymmetric unit.

  9. Solid oxygen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_oxygen

    Solid oxygen forms at normal atmospheric pressure at a temperature below 54.36 K (−218.79 °C, −361.82 °F). Solid oxygen O 2 , like liquid oxygen , is a clear substance with a light sky-blue color caused by absorption in the red part of the visible light spectrum.
