There are many difference between a solids, liquids, and gases... Lets take a example: like water.
Water is a unversal solvent and the most basic and the most easiest and not so complicated when you go to the molecular level. Water's formula is H2O. So, there are 2 hydrogens and one oxygen. When you freeze water its molecular structure is very different from its liquid form or its gas form. This is because its structure has more of a symictrical form and has a more standared form which is composed, has no space left to have free space, and also there are no molecules floting around randomly, If you know what i mean... (solid molecules are held together through the attractions caused by each molecule being slightly polar) and in liquids there is a little less attraction from each molecule and then when there is a gas there is almost no attraction between molecules causing it to float everywhere.
Hint:--- Look at a solid... Does the solid move unless you make it make someway or another... There is more attraction in solids than in liquids and gasses. Liquids dont have much movement as well but there are more easilly moved. Gasses move like crazy. They dont have any attraction or less attraction between them leading to the free movement and create no form or almost no form at all.
This is why solids, liquids, and gasses differ from on another at the molecular level. What I just said is the most brefest summery of how they differ. There are many differences like the polars and the non-polars, and etc...

Solids to Liquids (Melting) Liquids turning back into a Solid (Freezing) ((SCF))
Mechanical waves involve the physical transfer of vibration from one particle to another within the medium. Denser materials (solids and liquids), have closer particles so this transfer of energy occurs more quickly. :)
compress it nearly impossiable to COMPRESS solids and liquids
It is harder to digest solids because you have to chew, then your body has to break everything in the solids down, for when you digest liquids it only has to take out proteins. Vince-liquid is easily digested but solids are not
Solids are hard but liquids have no feeling. Solids have a shape but liquids do not.
The motion of particles in gasses, liquids, and solids are all different. Gas particles can move much more quickly than solids.
No, liquids and solids do not diffuse as easily as gases due to their tightly packed molecular structure and lower kinetic energy. Diffusion in liquids is generally slower than in gases, but it can still occur over time. In solids, diffusion is even slower due to the rigid arrangement of molecules.
No, not all solids dissolve in all liquids. The ability of a solid to dissolve in a liquid depends on various factors such as the nature of the solid and the liquid, as well as their molecular structures. Some solids may dissolve in one liquid but not in another.
Because molecular(atomic)distance is less in solid than liquid.
The kinetic molecular theory cannot be directly applied to liquids and solids because the particles in these states are closer together and have stronger intermolecular forces, which affect their movement and behavior differently than in gases.
solid is a state in which molecules are closely packed than liquids and gases. the inter molecular distance between the molecules of solids are less or negligible.thats why the solids are not compressible
molecular structure
They are all forms of matter. They are identified by the inter-molecular spaces between their molecules.
Solids and liquids both have definite volume. They are also both considered to be condensed phases of matter. Additionally, solids and liquids exhibit molecular motion, although the degree of motion is higher in liquids compared to solids.
The molecules remain identical (for example ice, water, vapors).
They show differed behaviour because they are three different phases of the matter.
Yes, sound travels faster in liquids and solids than in air because the molecules in liquids and solids are closer together, allowing sound waves to propagate more efficiently. Additionally, the stiffness of the medium also affects the speed of sound, with solids generally having the highest speed, followed by liquids, and then gases such as air.
