How are the particles arranged in a solid, liquid, and gas?

1 answer

In a solid, particles are tightly packed together and arranged in a fixed pattern. They vibrate in their fixed positions but remain in contact with each other.

In a liquid, particles are close together but can slide past each other, allowing for the fluidity and ability to take the shape of their container. They have more space and energy than in a solid, but are still relatively close together.

In a gas, particles are widely spaced with large distances between them. They have high amounts of energy and move about freely, colliding with each other and the walls of their container. They do not have a fixed shape or volume and will expand or contract to fill their container.
