States of Matter

Description

Colored circles represent atoms/molecules in solid, liquid, and gas states. Each state shows characteristic particle motion: tight vibration in solids, flowing in liquids, and fast random motion in gases. Heating transitions are animated.

Phases

#	Phase Name	Duration	Description
1	Solid	3s	Grid of tightly packed particles vibrating slightly
2	Heating → Liquid	2s	Particles loosen and begin to flow
3	Liquid	3s	Particles moving around within a container boundary
4	Heating → Gas	2s	Particles speed up and spread out
5	Gas	3s	Particles moving fast in all directions
6	Labels	1s	Solid / Liquid / Gas side by side
