Detailed explanation-1: -Water is the only common substance that is naturally found as a solid, liquid or gas.

Detailed explanation-2: -Two factors determine whether a substance is a solid, a liquid, or a gas: The kinetic energies of the particles (atoms, molecules, or ions) that make up a substance. Kinetic energy tends to keep the particles moving apart. The attractive intermolecular forces between particles that tend to draw the particles together.

Detailed explanation-3: -A gas and a liquid will change shape to fit the shape of their container. A gas will change volume to fit the volume of the container. In general, solids are denser than liquids, which are denser than gases. . The particles in the solid are touching with very little space between them.
