Usually the solid phase, but some substances, importantly water, are exceptions because the liquid near the freezing point has shorter inter-particle distances than the solid near the freezing point.
The state of matter with particles separated by the least amount of distance is the solid phase. In solids, particles are tightly packed together and have limited freedom of movement.
It is a decrease.
Particles of matter are always in constant motion.
Change in the phase of matter is just related to the distance between the particles, and hence a change in the amount of attractive forces.
matter are composed by particles,particles are very small,particle have space between them
The smallest particles of matter are the atom particles, namely protons, neutrons, and electrons. The electron is the smallest of the three.
There are three types of matter; solid matter, liquid matter and gas matter. They are all made up of particles which are the building blocks of matter. Particles in a Gas matter are randomly separated, they are a bit far apart form each other, so they are able to move around efficiently. Particles in liquid matter are less separated from each other, they are closer to each, so there degree of mobility is limited. Particles in solid matter are packed close together and rigity and immobile. A table and a cup and objects of the types are solid matter so they are unable to move around.
Democritus
As the space changes between the particles, so does the state of matter.

Possibly interstellar gas comes close to your need. GAS is the state of matter with the greatest Disorder
Gas is the state of matter with the most space between molecules. The 4th and most abundant state of matter 'Plasma' can be similarly diffuse, mainly as the electrons and protons in space not bound into molecular gas.
The kinetic theory of matter states that matter is made of particles whose speed is dependent on their mass and temperature. The kinetic theory states that particles in matter are always in motion.
