Explain the characteristics of solids,liquids and gases by giving example from real life

A solid..
A solid is a form of matter that has a defined shape and volume. Atoms and molecules in most solids are packed together more closely than in the other states of matter (with some exceptions). Unlike particles in other states of matter, atoms and molecules in a solid often assume regular arrangements (crystals).
Examples of solid.
Brick
Coin
Iron bar
Banana
Rock
Sand
Glass (no, it does not flow)
Aluminum foil
Ice
Wood
A LIQUID
A liquid is a state of matter that has a defined volume, but can change shape. Liquids have the ability to flow and assume the shape of their container. This is because there is enough space between particles that they can slide past each other.
EXAMPLES OF LIQUID
Blood
Honey
Wine
Water
Mercury (a liquid metal)
Oil
Milk
Acetone
Alcohol
Coffee
A GAS
Argon can exist as a solid, liquid, and gas all at once. Temperature and pressure can change the state of matter. (Deglr6328)
A gas does not have a defined shape or volume, so it can expand to fill any size or shape of container. Particles in gases are widely separated, compared to those in liquids and solids.
EXAMPLES OF GAS
Air
Natural gas
Hydrogen
Carbon dioxide
Water vapor
Freon
Ozone
Nitrogen
Argon
Natural gas
