Three States of Matter

Kinetic Model of Matter describes that all matter being made up of tiny particles are in continuous random motion.

State	Solid	Liquid	Gas
Model
Arrangement of particles	Particles are closely packed and arranged in a fixed, orderly manner => high density	Particles are less closely packed and are in random and disorderly manner => high density	Particles are very far apart from one another and are in random and disorderly manner => very low density
Movement of particles	Vibrate about fixed positions only => fixed volume and shape	Move about freely and slowly within the liquid. => no fixed shape	Move freely at high speeds in all directions. Constant, random motion => no fixed volume and shape
Force of attraction	Very strong	Strong but weaker as compared to solid	Very weak / negligible
Properties	Fixed shape	No fixed shape Takes the shape of the container it occupies.	No fixed shape Takes the shape of the container it occupies.
	Fixed volume	Fixed volume	No fixed volume Takes the volume of the container it occupies.
	High density	High density	Low density
	Incompressible	Incompressible	Easily compressible
