Permissible Values

Value Meaning Description
SOLID PATO:0001736 A state of matter in which molecules are closely packed and cannot move past each other.
LIQUID PATO:0001735 A state of matter with a definite volume but no fixed shape. Liquids adapt to the shape of their container and are nearly incompressible, maintaining their volume even under pressure.
GASEOUS PATO:0001737 A state of matter with neither fixed volume nor fixed shape.
PLASMA PATO:0015012 A state of matter in which a gas becomes ionized and conducts electricity, often found in high-energy environments such as stars or lightning.
