Matter is made up of molecules. and there are forces acting between molecules. those forces are called intermolecular forces.
Moreover, those molecules are always in motion, so they have kinetic energy because of their motion. the more the motion the more is kinetic energy.
Intermolecular forces and kinetic energy are the two main things that determine the states or forms of matter.
1. solid:
In solid state molecules or particles are tightly packed with one another and they have only back and forth motion (vibrational motion) about their fixed positions. Therefore, particles in solid cannot slip or slide over one another and thus they possess definite shape and definite volume. Their intermolecular force is high and kinetic energy is low.
2. Liquid:
In liquid state molecules are not tightly packed with one another they can move in all directions easily, so liquids don't have definite shape. But in liquid state the intermolecular force is higher than gases so they have definite volume. Molecules of liquid move randomly in all directions. They are fixed. so they definite shape can't be obtained. They take the shape of vessel they are in.
3. Gas:
In this state molecules are lying away from one another. They have very high kinetic energy and very low intermolecular forces. Because of this gases don't have definite shape or volume. They take the shape and volume of the vessel they are in.
What else can I help you with?
If all atoms in a sample of matter are alike that kind of matter is?
an element
Why bacteria are decomposers?
cause it brakes down organic matter :) hahaha isnt that hilariouse?
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.
A substance in which all atoms are not alike but all the molecules are alike?
nucleus compound

How are physical changes alike?
all physical changes are alike in which all of them changing without changing in chemical makeup of the matter we have
How are solid liquid and gases alike?
They are all matter they all have mass and all take up space
Is crystal bowersox a rastafarian?
It doesn't matter and she isnt. No.
How are solid particles and liquid particles alike?
they all take up space and all have matter, mass, and weight
How is solid and gas alike?
States of Matter
How are all physical changes alike?
All physical changes involve a change in the form, shape, or state of matter without altering the chemical composition of the substance. This means that the particles in the substance remain the same before and after the change, only their arrangement or state is altered.

Which of these statements is false all neutrons are alike all electrons are alike all protons are alike all atoms are alike?
True statements: All neutrons are alike, all electrons are alike, all protons are alike (All atoms of a given isotope is only alike). False statement: All atoms are alike All atoms are not alike as they may vary in the number of protons / electrons / neutrons.
Is Steve Harvey related to Richard Pryor?
no they just look alike
