 The three main states of matter can be described using the particle theory of matter, which suggests that matter is composed of very small particles that are in constant motion and are held together by attractive forces. The spread of these particles depends on the amount of energy they possess. Solid Liquid Gas  has definite shape and volume has particles that are packed closely together and usually arranged in a regular pattern this tight arrangement tenders solids incompressible They contain more matter per unit volume, so they generally have high density. Solid particles have the lowest kinetic energy. cup shirt book eraser has definite volume, but has no fixed shape has particles that can move and are in close contact Compared to solids, liquid particles are loosely packed, which allows them to slide past one another and arrange themselves in a way that assumes the shape of a container they are placed into. The particles of liquids have higher kinetic energy than those in solids. maple syrup shampoo olive oil orange juice has no definite volume and only takes the shape of their container has particles that are widely separated Gas particles have the highest kinetic energy, thus they readily spread out to occupy all available space. Gases may be easily compressed by reducing the volume they occupy, thereby forcing the particles to come closer together. helium in a steam from argon in a nitrogen in a balloon a kettle tank tank  has no definite volume and shape has charged particles that are widely separated lightning fireball flame comet's tail  a state of matter in which separate atoms or subatomic particles, cooled to near absolute zero (0 K, − 273.15 °C, or − 459.67 °F; K = kelvin) coalesce into a single quantum mechanical entity—that is, one that can be described by a wave function—on a near-macroscopic scale. A Bose-Einstein condensate is a state of matter in which extremely cold atoms clump together and act as if they were a single atom.  Solid Liquid Gas Plasma has particles has particles has particles has charged that are that can move that are particles that packed closely and are in close widely are widely together contact separated separated  Let’s Try this:
