Match the following states of matter with their descriptions of the particle motion

Column A
1.
Gas:
2.
Liquid:
3.
Solid:
Column B
a. The particles are locked together in a rigid structure and cannot move much
b. The particles are still held together, but not rigidly, so they slide all over one another and prevent the material from having a definite shape
c. The particles have little to no attachment to each other and instead bounce around in a container freely
