The phases of matter are liquids, gases, and solids. Liquids are in a total disorder, meaning that all of the molecules it consists of move around the empty space. Gases are found in a smaller disorder where they cannot move as freely, but comparing to the solid stage that is arranged in an order, it can actually move while the solid stay in its original form. The fourth stage of matter is similar to gas, and it is called Plasma. In that chemical compound, certain portions of molecules ionized. Plasma does not have a definite shape or a definite volume just like gas, unless enclosed in a container. Unlike gases, plasmas under the influence of magnetic fields can form structures such as filaments, beams and double layers.
