There are three basic states of matter (not including plasma), they are solid, liquid, and gas. The thing or key that distinguishes them is the state of the molecules of those objects move. In solids, the molecules are packed together very tightly which gives its solid aspect. In a liquid the molecules are loose letting the object take a flowing shape (liquid). In a gas, the molecules are very loose and going everywhere giving it its gas-like appearance.
