The different states (which are solids, liquids and gases) are determined by the amount of energy present in the system. Energy is found in several forms, but kinetic energy is the form that the state of matter takes on, especially when it is changed from one state of matter to another. The various states of matter are always in constant motion. In liquids and gases, the motion known as the Brownian motion occurs. This is where particles move randomly while suspended. Even in solids, the particles continue to move, but is a vibration around a fixed point, and is not as free as the liquids and gases.

Hope that helped!! <(^_^)>
