Rigidity: It is the property of matter to resist the change of its shape.
Compressibility: It is the property of matter in which its volume is decreased by applying force.
Fluidity: It is the ability of matter to flow.
Filling a gas container: On filling a gas takes the shape of the container.
Shape: Having definite boundaries.
Kinetic energy: It is the energy possessed by the particles of matter due to its motion.
Density: It is the ratio of mass with per unit volume
Solids :
Solids have definite shape and fixed volumes.
Liquids :
Liquids have no fixed shape but have a fixed volume.
Gases :
In the gaseous state, the particles move about randomly, at high speed and they have more space between particles.
