Solids - Bonds between molecules are strong, holding a constant form with a definite mass.
Liquids - Bonds between molecules are not as strong, still have a definite mass due to their temperature and take the form of the container.
Gases - Molecules float freely with and are impossible to get a definite mass or volume on an open sample.

What is a highly compressible state of matter?
Of the various states of matter (solid, liquid, and gas being the most common here on Earth; if we include stars, plasma is the most common state, and then there are exotic states such as degenerate matter in neutron stars) gas is the most compressible. In a gas, the particles are relatively far apart, they are not connected to each other or in contact with each other in any way, and they can all move freely, so that when you compress a gas, the constituent particles (atoms or molecules) can be easily squeezed into a smaller space, without breaking any chemical bonds.
How do the 3 states of matter differ from one another?
Solids are basically objects, such as a rocks and humans. They have a definite volume and shape. They cannot be compressed as the molecules in a solid are very closely packed due to strong intermolecular forces that bonds the molecules together. They expand when heated and contract when cooled. When heated, the molecules vibrate the more and more vigorously in their places when the temperature increases. Liquids are water-like matter, such as seawater and paint. They have a definite volume, however have no definite shape, as the intermolecular forces are not as strong as those in solids to bond the molecules together. Hence, the molecules will move around the container when tilted to reach a horizontal level (plane). They can be compressed, however only to a small extent. They expand when cooled (ice in solid state) and contract when heated (water vapour in gaseous state). The molecules will then become compacted or move further apart when in the respective states. The molecules will lose energy when steam condenses to water. Gas is basically the air. The air is usually made up different kinds of gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide. However, they all share common characterisics. Gases do not have a definite volume and shape, thus able to fill up anything, such as the atmosphere. They can be compressed as the intermolecular forces are weak. The gas molecules are spaced far apart, and they move in a continuous and random motion. Their speed varies according to the temperature and the number of atoms. The higher the temperature or the less the atoms, the faster they move. They bounce away from any other molecules (gas, dust or smoke), thus have no fixed motion. This is called the Brownian Motion. Diffusion is greatly present, where the molecules will diffuse in the air till it reaches a state of equilibrium. Gas also expands greatly when heated and contracts greatly when cooled.
What is the state of matter in which molecules slip and slide over each other take the shape of container and are apart but still touch each other?
Liquid.
What are solids liquids and gases?
The particles of solids are very close and tight and are organised. The particles of liquids are randomly organised and are further apart. The molecules in gases are really far apart.
What does the Law of Conservation of Matter state?
The law of conservation of matter states that matter is neither created nor destroyed. An example of this is a simple combustion reaction of methane. CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O. There is 1 carbon, four oxygen's and four hydrogens on each side, thus showing conservation of matter.
Why do all states of matter have molecules?
All states of matter do not necessarily have molecules. The noble gases consist of individual atoms, and ionic compounds consist of ions, or formula units. All states of matter must contain atoms, molecules, or ions, because matter is made of atoms, molecules, and ions.
In what way are molecules related to the different states of matter?
Molecules are related to the different states of matter by how they are arranged and how they move. In solids, molecules are tightly packed and vibrate in place. In liquids, molecules are more spread out and can move past each other. In gases, molecules are far apart and move freely. These differences in molecular arrangement and movement determine the state of matter.
Four states of matter?
the four states of matter are a solid, liquid ,gas, and plasma the molecules in a solid are tightly packed together in a liquid they take the shape of its container a gas the molecules move freely and in plasma the molecules attract each other positive and negative
How do liquid ice How do liquid water ice and water vapor differ from each other?
They are made of different kinds of molecules.
How many common states of matter are there?
There are four states of matter in the universe although only three natural accruing ones on earth. They are solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Solids molecules are vibrating but not moving relative to one another. Liquid molecules are tumbling over each other. Gas molecules are breaking away from and colliding into each other, and plasma is a super heated gas an electrically charged ( ionized ) state of matter found naturally throughout the Universe.

How can you Describe how molecules move in each of the three states of matter?
In the solid state, molecules vibrate in fixed positions. In the liquid state, molecules have more freedom to move around but are still closely packed together. In the gas state, molecules move freely and rapidly, with very weak intermolecular forces.
What are the different faces of matter?
Matter can exist in three main states: solid, liquid, and gas. These states can undergo physical changes such as melting, freezing, condensing, and evaporating. Additionally, matter can exist in more exotic states like plasma and Bose-Einstein condensate under specific conditions.
What is common between the three states of matter?
The three states of matter - solid, liquid, and gas - are all composed of tiny particles called atoms or molecules. These particles are in constant motion, but their behavior differs in each state with respect to arrangement and energy level. Additionally, the physical properties of matter, like density and volume, can vary depending on its state.
How do the molecules behave during each phase?
In the solid phase, molecules are closely packed together in a fixed position, vibrating in place. In the liquid phase, molecules are more loosely packed and have more freedom to move around, sliding past each other. In the gas phase, molecules are far apart and move freely and quickly, colliding with each other and the container walls.
Which state of matter has molecules vibrating next to each other?
All substances always vibrate and shake next to each other: it's how we perceive temperature. I don't think I quite understand this question. But this may help: If a substance is in solid form, it is the most compact. The molecules are vibrating next to each other very closely. If a substance is in liquid form, it is somewhat compact. Molecules are vibrating next to each other, but not as closely. If a substance is in a gaseous form, it is spread out and crazy: and like every other state of matter, the molecules are vibrating next to each other.
