Compression
liquid
Usually a liquid, but some solids, like ice, have the molecules more spread apart, making it less dense than the liquid. If, by "loosely packed," you mean being able to slide past each other, then the liquid is always the answer.
How close together the molecules (particles) are in a substance/material. Solids are closely packed, liquids are loosely packed, and gas are very loose, freely moving molecules.
Solid Materials hold their shape because the molecules are bound to each other, all solids have the ability to hold their shape when forces are applied. ** Look in your book. If you have CPO Focus on Physical Science, it is in Chapter 5 section 2 page 103 **

A substance can flow if its molecules are loosely packed when compared to a solid.

Yes, gases do show the property of diffusion as its molecules are loosely packed.
Because Solid molecules are closely packed while liquid molecules are loosely packed and has spaces between them which make them contract first before they become hot.
In a solid the molecules are tightly packed together all touching one another and vibrate; in a liquid the molecules are more loosely packed and more free to move around but they are still touching; in a gas the molecules are free to move where they please
Solids have closely-packed molecules, and very little energy Liquids have loosely-packed molecules and some energy, and gasses have very lose, free molecules, and very high energy.
