    • Solids
      1. Very closely packed in an orderly manner
      2. vibrate about Fixed positions
      3. very strong forces of attractions
      4. very low kinetic energy of particles
      5. Fixed volume and shape
      6. cannot be compressed
    • Liquids
      1. Closely packed in a disorderly manner
      2. Slide past each other freely throughout the liquid
      3. strong forces of attraction
      4. low kinetic energy of particles
      5. indefinite shape
      6. fixed volume
      7. cannot be compressed
    • Gases
      1. Very far apart in a disorderly manner
      2. move quickly and randomly in any direction
      3. very weak forces of attractions
