Enum: PhysicalStateEnum

Permissible Values

Value	Meaning	Description
SOLID	PATO:0001736	A state of matter in which molecules are closely packed and cannot move past each other.
CRYSTAL	PATO:0002066	A solid state of matter whose constituents (such as atoms, molecules, or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.
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.
