At "ordinary" pressures (that is, pressures not greatly exceeding those commonly found on Earth's surface), the densest solid elements (osmium and iridium) are a bit less than 23 tons per cubic meter and the least dense (lithium) is a bit over half a ton per cubic meter, so those are reasonable limits for fully solid matter (i.e. crystalline with no voids). By including voids or air inclusions (such as in styrofoam or aerogels) you can get very low densities for apparently "solid" materials; aerogels are around 98% air, so they are only marginally more dense than air itself.
Liquids ... well, the only liquid elements at room temperature are Mercury (around 13.5 tons per cubic meter) and bromine (about 3 tons per cubic meter), but there are many common liquids with lower densities than bromine. Water, for example, is one ton per cubic meter, and most oils are lower still.
For gases, the limits become essentially meaningless because you can arbitrarily rarify a gas, but interstellar space has a typical density of around 1 hydrogen atom mass per cubic meter. The densest elemental gas with a measured density is radon, which is around 0.01 tons per cubic meter at ordinary atmospheric pressure, and the densest gas at room temperature is tungsten hexafluoride, with a density of around 0.012 tons per cubic meter (ununoctium ... IF there's an isotope of it stable enough to collect more than a single atom at a time, and IF it turns out to be a gas at room temperature... could potentially be denser, but not A LOT denser, maybe 0.013 tons per cubic meter or so). However, under extremely high pressures you can get extremely dense gasses; a neutron-degenerate gas (such as would be found in a neutron star) might have a density of 400,000,000,000,000 tons per cubic meter or so.
Liquids are the least common of the four states of matter due to the temperatures/conditions in which they exist. Gases exist in a very high range of temperatures, as do solids, but liquids require specific temperature ranges (generally very small ones) in order to exist.
The temperature of a solid can vary depending on its specific properties and composition. Solids generally have a range of melting points where they transition from a solid to a liquid state. The temperature of a solid can be affected by factors such as pressure and the presence of impurities.
A liquid that dissolves substances is called a solvent. Solvents can dissolve solids, liquids, or gases, and they are commonly used in various chemical processes. Water is often referred to as the "universal solvent" because it can dissolve a wide range of substances.
Amorphous solids are non-crystalline solids that lack the long-range order of crystal structures. Even amorphous solids have some short-range order.
There is space between atoms of solids that is in the range of a couple of tenths of a nanometer.
Nonmetals contain about equal numbers of solid and gas or liquid elements. The subatomic particles that make up gases and liquids are more spread out and less compact than in solids. Therefore, gases and liquids are less dense than solids. Because nonmetals contain about equal numbers of solid and gas or liquid elements, they have a greater density range than the predominantly solid metals.

The common range of densities for solids is typically between 1 g/cm^3 and 20 g/cm^3. However, certain materials can have densities outside of this range, such as aerogels with densities less than 0.1 g/cm^3 or osmium with a density of around 22.59 g/cm^3.
Not necessarily. Both liquids and gases can exist over a wide range of temperatures.
Yes. The denser the medium, the faster it travels. So, it travels fastest in solids, and slowest in gases. It can range from only about 340 meters per second in air, to over 2000 meters per second in steel.

Yes, non-metals have a wide range of chemical properties. They can be solids, liquids, or gases, and can exhibit properties such as high electronegativity, poor conductivity of heat and electricity, and varied reactivity with other substances.
No, gaseous substances do not have long-range repeating order like crystalline solids. Gaseous particles are constantly moving randomly and do not have a fixed arrangement like solids and liquids.
because yr mum looked at it
short order means in ionic solids that the constituents particles are arranged upto short distances only.
No, not all solids are the same. For example. each solid has a different temperature in which it melts. Heat, water, and coldness are factors in solids.
Gas, as well as everything in the universe has density, though some densities are either too high or too low to be detected but for gases, the density can vary over a wide range because the molecules are free to move.Gases have a lower density compared to liquids because their particles are more spaced out hence occupies more volume. Gases have no fixed shape or volume and will always spread out to fill any container.
