Gas is different from solid because gas moves around and it is not packed together because it have weaker intermolecular force. Solid are packed together tightly together and it vibrates  but it don't really move around much.

The atoms and molecules in gases are much more spread out than in solids or liquids. They vibrate and move freely at high speeds. A gas will fill any container, but if the container is not sealed, the gas will escape. Gas can be compressed much more easily than a liquid or solid
