give the main points of distinction in the three States of matter in a tabular form
Answers
# 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.
# Liquid matter is made of more loosely packed particles. It will take the shape of its container. Particles can move about within a liquid, but they are packed densely enough that volume is maintained.
# Gaseous matter is composed of particles packed so loosely that it has neither a defined shape nor a defined volume. A gas can be compressed.
Answer:
Understanding the difference between Solid Liquid and Gas is important as they represent the three different states of matter.
