Particles in a solid are packed tightly together, and vibrate, but don't really move around. In liquid, they are fairly close together, but are not arranged in a particular pattern, and slide over and around each other. In a gas, the particles are spread out and in no regular arrangement and move around and vibrate at high speeds.

Additionally, particles in a solid move slower than particles in a liquid or gas, particles in a liquid move somewhere in the middle, and gas particles move the fastest of all.

Particles are different depending on the form they are in. when it is water they tend to float around freely, like a jar of flies for instance. But when they are a gas, they tend to float around in pairs .

The particles in a gas move faster and are full of energy. However the particles in a solid do not have as much energy and vibrate in place

A solid has a fixed volume and form.

A liquid has a fixed volume but has the form of a container.

A gas has not a fixed volume or form.
