States of Matter Explained: Solid, Liquid, Gas with Visual Examples #3799158 (License: Personal Use)

This educational illustration demonstrates how water transitions between solid (ice cubes), liquid (glass of water), and gas (steam from an electric kettle), with magnified insets revealing the molecular arrangement in each state-tightly packed in solids, loosely bound in liquids, and widely dispersed in gases. The image uses consistent blue spheres to represent water molecules, emphasizing changes in spacing and motion during phase transitions. It’s ideal for science curricula covering physical properties and phase changes.

Used in K-12 science education, introductory chemistry pages, or physics resources to visually explain phase changes and particle theory; matches user intent for learning basic matter concepts through diagrams.
