The difference between the different the arrangement of particles in different states of matter is "how the particles are arranged".
Step-by-step explanation:
The matter is any substance made of particles like atom, molecules or ions that has mass and require space by having volume. The matter present in universe are basically in three states as follows and differ from each other according to the arrangement of particles:
- Solid matter: Here particles are tightly packed in a regular structure, rigid in nature while these particles only slightly vibrate in their stable position due to compactness.
- Liquid matter: Here particles are tightly packed but free to move from each other, as they have can do both rotate and vibrate more than the particles in solid phase therefore volume is independent.
- Gaseous matter: Here particles are spread out and move randomly as large amount of space is present between them and independent from volume, shape or size.
