A solid is when the atoms are closest together and has the minimum mobility.
A liquid is when the atoms are further apart and has average mobility.

∙ 11y agoIn solids atoms are tightly packed together. In liguids the atoms are farther apart and gases atoms are so far apart you can't even see them.
A solid is a hard substance e.g. wood plastic. Solids will not take the shape of the container it is put in where as a liquid will always take the shape of the container it is put in. A gas is oxygen, carbon dioxide. we cannot see gases but they are all around us.

∙ 8y agoThe main difference is in the average kinetic energy of the molecules. Gas molecules have the highest, followed by liquids, and then solids have the lowest. Also, gases do not have a definite shape or volume; liquids do not have a definite shape but do have a definite volume; and solids have both a definite shape and a definite volume.
