Describe the formation of particles in a gas
The molecules in a gas are far apart and hot in contact. The particles have the most energy, and are free to shoot around in alot of space compared to solids and liquids.
Describe the formation of a liquid
The particles in a liquid are touching tight together but are free to move; sliding over one another. They have reasonable amounts of energy, but low in contrast to a gas.
Describe the formation of a Solid
The particles in a solid have the least amount of energy, and are compact tightly together in an ordered formation or rows and lines. They vibrate when heated, but do not break formation (unless melted - where it gains energy and turns into a liquid).
