Chemistry Chapter 9: Solids, Liquids, and Gases Properties Matching

Liquids have a high density, take the shape of their container, particles are close together, forces between particles are quite strong, expand quite a lot when heated, and flow easily.

Solids have a definite volume, a definite shape, particles packed closely, strong forces between particles, are not easily squashed, expand slightly when heated, and do not flow.

Gases have no definite volume, always fill the container they are in, become the same shape as their container, particles are far apart, forces between particles are very weak, have a very low density, are easily squashed, expand greatly when heated, and flow easily and diffuse.
