In both the solid and liquid state, atoms (and molecules) are packed closely together.

In solids the particles are in nearly fixed positions, though vibration is present as a result of thermal motion. In a liquid or gas, particles move extensively as a consequence of the thermal motion. In a solid, the forces between particles are strong enough to hold them in place.

In a liquid, particles are very nearly as close to each other as they are in a solid, but those positions keep changing and the individual particles are free to move around.

In a gas, there is a great deal of space between particles. For a material composed of just simple atoms, say Argon, the solid has particles of only a few angstroms separation. In the liquid form the average distance is no more than a few percent different. In the gas, the distance between atoms is generally hugely different tens, or hundreds or millions of times larger.

This answer is comparing the gas, liquid and solid states of normal matter. Any discussion of exotic states, such as plasma or nuclear matter, is a vastly different topic.
That is the solid state.

In which state of matter are particles packed very tightly together?

Particles are packed very tightly together in the solid state of matter. The particles in a solid are in a fixed position and have minimal movement, resulting in a close arrangement with strong intermolecular forces holding them in place.

Held very tightly?

Solid matter. Because it composed of tightly packed particles.


Are particles in a solid closely packed and motionless?

In a solid, particles are indeed closely packed together, but they are not completely motionless. The particles still have vibrational motion around their fixed positions. This vibrational motion increases with temperature, causing the solid to expand as the particles move more vigorously.


How tightly packed atoms are together?

How tightly are the particles held together in solids?

Yes, they are packed closely together


Are the particles of gas are packed tightly together?

No, they are not packed tightly together. The particles in solids are. In gas, they move in random motion and are the furthest apart, compared to solids and liquids. Hope this helps :)
