Solids are rigid that is they cannot be compressed because of their fixed shape
and their fixed volume the volume and shape of a solid are defined. The mass of solid is defined too. The intermolecular space is very low ie there is little space between molecules and the forces of intermolecular attraction is very high
Liquids, like solids cannot be compressed because of its fixed volume. It doesn't have a fixed shape and has definate mass. Intermolecular space and force of attraction is moderate
Gases are highly compressible because they have no specific volume, mass or shape. There is vast intermolecular space and little to no forces of attraction
