Answer 1

Answer:

Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas. Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around. ... Gaseous matter is composed of particles packed so loosely that it has neither a defined shape nor a defined volume.

Answer 2

Answer:

The three states of Matter are Solids, Liquids and Gases.

These three states of Matter are classified based on the arrangement of the molecules
