Definitiate the Forms of matter according to its shape arrangement of molecules and its size...?

In solids - the molecules are very closely packed. That's why there is no space for them to move around and this contributes towards the factor of stiffness.
In liquids - the molecules are comparatively lesser compressed than solids that's why they move around in freely motion and do not have a fixed shape and size.
In Gases - the molecules are set much apart and that's why they are ready and set to move in any direction. That's why the gas is most compressible and it hasn't got any shape.
Some Characteristics of Gases, Liquids and Solids and the Microscopic Explanation for the Behavior
gas
liquid
solid
assumes the shape and volume of its container
particles can move past one another
assumes the shape of the part of the container which it occupies
particles can move/slide past one another
retains a fixed volume and shape
rigid - particles locked into place
compressible
lots of free space between particles
not easily compressible
little free space between particles
not easily compressible
little free space between particles
flows easily
particles can move past one another
flows easily
particles can move/slide past one another
does not flow easily
rigid - particles cannot move/slide past one another

Is a liquid a very structured molecule?
Molecules of all compounds are structured.The liquid as a state of matter is not very structured.

How are atoms or molecules arranged in a true solid?
The arrangements of atoms and molecules give matter properties. Each arrangement is called a ''state of matter". A solid is matter that has a definite shap and takes up a definite amount of space. Vintage Magnet Student 4th Grade Mrs.Bhattacharyra Room 28
Why does the state of matter depend on the motion of its particles?
State of matter depend on arrangement of particle.In gases the arrangement is random and very loose.So they move freely.In solid, the arrangement is tight.So they cannot move freely.
Matter is a solid liquid or gas because of the arrangement and motion of its atoms or molecules. is that true or false?
this is true, and one way these molecules are affected is by changes in temperature. these molecules are also affected by pressure. you can literally press water back into ice; the same way you can lower the temperature until it freezes. oh and the space in between these molecules plays a big role as well.

What s the type of matter and its arrangement in an object?
Composition
How many combinations of 3 out of 10?
720 permutations (the arrangement matters) 120 combinations (the arrangement doesn't matter)
An arrangement of a set of items or events in which the order does not matter?
A combination. If the order does matter, the word is permutation.
