Answer:

An object could be determined as solid:

-It doesn't change shape easily.

-when lots of heat applied till melting point, it would melt or thaw (basically turn into liquid).

-turn to pieces or bent when enough force applied to it.

-the molecules attached with each other by strong forces, creating strong bonds.

An object could be determined as liquid:

-It changes shaped based on the container.

-when lots of heat applied till boiling point, it would vaporize

-the molecules have weak bonds, creating a lot of spaces.

-when heat extracted from the liquid till freezing point, it would freeze/hardened (turn into solid)

An object could be determined as gas:

-it doesn't have any shape or form.

-if fills in the container.

-if lots of heat applied, its molecules are going to move, vibrate,and transist faster; increasing pressure and volume.

-The molecules have very weak bonds, creating spacious space.

-when the heat are being extracted till certain freezing point, it is going to turn into liquid, then solid.
