Explain solid, liquid, and gas?


Matter exists in three formssolid, liquid, and gas. Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of atoms, molecules, and/or ions, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases.

  • Solids have a definite shape and volume as the atoms in solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.

  • Liquids have a definite volume, but take the shape of the container, as the atoms in liquid are close together with no regular arrangement.

  • Gases have no definite shape or volume. The atoms in  gas are well separated with no regular arrangement.
