Solid
In solids, particles are very close together and vibrate in a fixed position.
Solids have a fixed shape and volume.
When heated, the particles vibrate with a greater amplitude.
Liquid
In liquids, particles are very close together but they move and flow randomly past one another.
Liquids have a fixed volume but can change shape and fill a container.
When heated, the average speed of particles increases.
Gas
In gases, particles are far apart and move randomly in all directions.
Gases change shape and volume to fill any container.
When heated, the average speed of particles increases.
