Gas, liquid, and solid are the three states of matter. The relationship between them is based on the arrangement and movement of their particles.
In a gas, the particles are spread out and move freely, with little to no attraction between them. This allows gases to expand to fill the space available to them.
In a liquid, the particles are closer together than in a gas, but still have enough energy to move past each other. Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container.
In a solid, the particles are tightly packed together and vibrate in place. Solids have a definite shape and volume.
The relationship between these states of matter is based on the amount of energy the particles have and how closely they are packed together. By adding or removing energy (such as heating or cooling), matter can change from one state to another. This process is known as phase change.

Phase Transitions:
- Gas to Liquid: Condensation occurs when gas molecules lose energy and become closer together, forming a liquid.
- Liquid to Solid: Freezing occurs when liquid molecules lose even more energy and form a rigid structure with fixed positions.
- Solid to Gas: Sublimation occurs when molecules directly transition from a solid to a gas state without passing through a liquid phase.
- Gas to Solid: Deposition occurs when gas molecules directly transition to a solid state, bypassing the liquid phase.
Particle Arrangement:
- Gas: Molecules are highly separated and move freely in all directions.
- Liquid: Molecules are close together and can move around each other, but are still not fixed in place.
- Solid: Molecules are tightly packed and locked in a fixed position, forming a rigid structure.
Density:
- Solid: Highest density, due to tightly packed molecules.
- Liquid: Intermediate density, as molecules are close together but not tightly bound.
- Gas: Lowest density, as molecules are far apart.
Compressibility:
- Gas: Highly compressible, as molecules can easily move closer together.
- Liquid: Slightly compressible, but not as much as gases.
- Solid: Virtually incompressible, as molecules cannot be compressed closer together.
Shape and Volume:
- Gas: Assumes the shape and volume of its container.
- Liquid: Assumes the shape of its container but has a fixed volume.
- Solid: Has a definite shape and volume.
Thermal Energy:
- Gas: Molecules have the highest average kinetic energy, which allows them to move freely.
- Liquid: Molecules have less kinetic energy than gases, but can still move around each other.
- Solid: Molecules have the lowest kinetic energy and are locked in place.
