Answer:

Solid

  • A solid is a state of matter where the particles are tightly packed together, they are very close together
  • They vibrate, they move very slowly

Liquid

  • A liquid has free-flowing particles, but they may not leave the container
  • They move at medium speed

Gas

  • A gas moves very freely, they leave the container, and they may not be captured in its entirety
  • It moves very fast because it is heated

Hope this helps :)
