== Matter comes in three states that are distinguished by the strength of the bonds holding the molecules of the matter together. The three states of matter are:
 * **Solids:** The strong bonds between molecules make solids rigid and very difficult to deform.
 * **Liquids:** The relatively weak bonds between molecules allow liquids to be deformed without effort. Liquids have a fixed volume, but their shape is determined by the shape of the container holding them.
 * **Gases:** Virtually no bonds exist between gas molecule so that gases can spread into any available space. The volume of a gas is determined by the size of the container holding it.
