How it's used
Primarily used in scientific or technical contexts to describe the physical phase of matter. Unlike everyday words such as 硬, which describes the texture of an object, 固態 specifically refers to the thermodynamic state of a substance. It is rarely used in casual conversation unless discussing physics or chemistry.
Examples
Water turns into a solid state below zero degrees.
Is this substance in a solid state or a liquid state?
