Describe the movement of particles in solid, liquids, gases, and plasma.

There are basically 5 states of matter known and these are 4 of them. A solid has all of its atoms/molecules in fixed locations relative to each other. A liquid has all of its atoms/molecules sliding against each other. A gas has all of its atoms/molecules just bouncing around off the walls and each other. A plasma has all of its atom's electron's bouncing around ripped free from the protons in a gas-like state that's slightly different. The fifth one is a weird quantum state called a Bose-Einstein condensate that is incredibly cold and that's where all of the atoms are of the same energy and basically form a super dense blob where the atoms are "inside of each other".
