Matter has three different states. Solids liquids and gases but the way it becomes a solid liquid or a gas all depends on the pressure and temperature of its surroundings with solids it needs to have low temperature and high pressure. with liquid it need to have some amount of pressure but also it needs to have some temperature and with gasses it needs to have more temperature and less pressure. an example of this is water when you lower the temperature it turns into ice and when you have it at room temperature it is in its liquid state and when you boil water it creates vapor which is just water in is gaseous form. But not all matter goes the solid liquid and gas phases for example dry ice its a solid that goes straight into gas form this happens because the ice is super cold approximately -109.3 degrees Fahrenheit and when it comes into contact with room temperature it doesn't have the temperature nor pressure to go into its liquid form. We also learned about how carbons and bonds create different types of matter. It depends on how many carbons and bonds it has for example when you have four carbons and one bond you get butane but when you have two bonds instead of one you get butene.
