Step-by-step explanation:
![\boxed{ \text{States \: of \: matter}}](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/chemistry/high-school/chz7283ctcbii81fmmy8c4jms89gnnj9ry.png)
Matter exists in three physical states. They are :

![\underline{ \text{Characteristics \: of \: solid}} :](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/chemistry/high-school/5hh97f313oxvq8nblxo4kh63w2y0obtk55.png)
- They have fixed shape.
- They have fixed volume.
- They do not flow.
- They cannot be compressed , because their molecules are closely packed.
- They are mostly hard.
[ Stones , bricks etc are some of the examples of solid ].
✰
![\underline{ \text{Characteristics \: of \: liquid}} :](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/chemistry/high-school/oh83hkb6yxlo2bhes2p161a9ayrb73jn6o.png)
- They don't have a fixed shape but can take the shape of their container.
- They cannot be compressed.
- They flow from one place to another as their molecular are loosely packed.
- They have fixed volume.
[ Water , Ink , Milk , Cooking oil , petrol etc are some of the examples of Liquid ] .
✰
![\underline{ \text{Characteristics \: of \: gas}} :](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/chemistry/high-school/ylnlm40wz0rtias2djgqx3o0kdnj1a6syw.png)
- They don't have fixed volume.
- They can flow very easily.
- They can be compressed easily.
- They do not have fixed shape as the position of their molecules are not fixed.
[ Air , oxygen , carbon dioxide etc are some of the examples of gas ] .
Hope I helped ! ♡
Have a wonderful day / night ! ツ
