Answer:

Solid:

High Density

Definite mass, volume, and shape

Solids are incompressible and rigid

Liquid:

No definite shape (takes the shape of its container)

Has definite volume.

Particles are free to move over each other but are still attracted to each other.

Gaseous:

They are easy to compress

They expand to fill their containers

They occupy far more space than the liquids or solids from which they form
