The situation that provides evidence that the particles for matter in its solid state stay closely packed and rigid, but the particles in its liquid state flow freely is **ice melting into water**.
When ice (solid) melts into water (liquid), it demonstrates how the rigid structure of ice with tightly packed particles changes to a more fluid state where the particles can move around each other, indicating that they are no longer held in a fixed position.
