Describe the states of matter based on the kinetic energy of particles in matter?

Solid: Example: Ice Cube. The bonds that hold the atoms
are very, very strong.
Liquid: Example: Water. Add heat and the bonds that are
holding the atoms becomes less strong and the atoms are less close
together.
Gas: Example: Vapour. Add heat to the liquid and the bonds
holding the atoms together disappear so the atoms are free. They
occupy all the space provided.

How are atoms held together in a metal?

Metals are giant structures of atoms held together by metallic
bonds. "Giant" implies that large but variable numbers of atoms are
involved - depending on the size of the bit of metal. Most metals
are close packed - that is, they fit as many atoms as possible into
the available volume.
hope this helps :)
