Explanation:

Each item is matched to the correct physical state or phase change based on key properties and definitions:

1. Gases have particles with large spacing, allowing expansion/compression.
2. Plasma consists of charged particles, enabling conductivity and magnetic response.
3. Solids have fixed particle positions, giving definite shape/volume.
4. Liquids have fixed volume but take the container's shape.
5. Solids commonly form crystals; some are amorphous (non-crystalline).
6. Gases have no fixed shape/volume, filling their container.
7. Solid particles vibrate in fixed positions.
8. Liquid particles vibrate while moving freely within the volume.
9. Sublimation is solid-to-gas phase change without liquid.
10. Solid particles are tightly packed with minimal spacing.
11. Plasma forms when electrons are stripped from atoms via high-energy collisions.
12. Condensation is gas-to-liquid phase change.
13. Deposition is gas-to-solid phase change without liquid.
14. Evaporation is surface-only liquid-to-gas phase change.
15. Boiling is liquid-to-gas phase change throughout the liquid.
16. Freezing is liquid-to-solid phase change.
17. Melting is solid-to-liquid phase change.
18. The diagram shows closely packed, slightly disordered particles (liquid).
19. The diagram shows tightly packed, ordered particles (solid).
20. The diagram shows widely spaced, random particles (gas).
