      Hello Leah! Electricity isn’t any of them-electricity is the flow of electrons which are negative ions.

      Great question! Electricity is a movement of electrons which can happen in a solid, liquid or gas. It’s sort of like wind, a movement of air. So by itself electricity doesn’t really have a physical state.

      Hey! It is technically a flow of electrons – I guess it is closer to a gas than a solid or liquid.
