Detailed explanation-1: -There are three states of matter: solid; liquid and gas. They have different properties, which can be explained by looking at the arrangement of their particles. This is the theoretical temperature at which particles have the least amount of energy and the slowest movement.

Detailed explanation-2: -Solid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume and shape, liquid is the state in which matter adapts to the shape of its container but varies only slightly in volume, and gas is the state in which matter expands to occupy the volume and shape of its container.

Detailed explanation-3: -Solids, liquids and gases are three states of matter. In solids, the particles are tightly packed together. In liquids, the particles have more movement, while in gases, they are spread out. Particles in chemistry can be atoms, ions or molecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -For many centuries, it was considered that there were only three states of matter: solid, liquid and gas (the three that are present and stable in our world). And water is the substance that best represents them, because it is the only one that exists naturally in the three states.

Detailed explanation-5: -Solids – relatively rigid, definite volume and shape. In a solid, the atoms and molecules are attached to each other. Liquids – definite volume but able to change shape by flowing. In a liquid, the atoms and molecules are loosely bonded. Gases – no definite volume or shape.
