Ko tētahi o ngā hanga e toru o te matū. Ka noho pūmau te āhua o te totoka me tōna rōrahi. He iti te pūngao neke o ngā ngota o te totoka, ka tūpanapana noa iho, kāore e nekeneke haere. Ko ētahi o ngā momo totoka matua ko te tioata (totoka katote), te konganuku me te waerau (ngā kirihou katoa, me ngā matū māori pērā i te pūtauhuka). Mā te whakawera i tētahi totoka e rewa ai, e huri ai hei wē. Mō ētahi totoka, pērā i te hauhā totoka (CO2), mā te whakawera e huri ai hei haurehu. Ka kīia tēnei tukanga ko te whāhaurehu.
One of the three states of matter. A solid retains a fixed shape and volume. The atoms of a solid have little kinetic energy, they vibrate rather than move freely. Some of the main types of solids are crystals (ionic solids), metals and polymers (all plastics and naturally occurring substances such as cellulose). By heating a solid it will melt and become a liquid. For some solids (such as dry ice or solid CO2), heating will result in a gas. This process is called sublimation.
