Explanation of Solution

Introduction:Anything that takes up space and has mass is defined as a matter. Plasma, gases, liquids, and solids are 4 natural states of matter.

Liquid is a matter that has a definite volume but not a definite shape. So, particles in it are completely free to flow.

Gas is a matter thathas neitherdefinite volume nor a definite shape.

Like gas, plasma has no definite volume and a definite shape but it can respond to magnetism and conduct electricity.

Comparison between liquids, gases, and plasmas is mentioned below:

    Liquid GasPlasma

    Usually cannot be compressed. Can be compressed.Can be compressed.
    Rarely electrically conductive. Not electrically conductive. Electrically conductive.
    When energy is added, evaporation process will start. When energy is added, Ionization process will start. N/A
    When energy is removed, freezing process will start.When energy is removed, condensation process will start.When energy is removed, deionization process will start.

Conclusion: Liquids, gases, and plasmas are not same.
