The three states of matter are: solids, liquids and gases.
- Solids- A solid has a definite shape and definite volume.
Example - wood, stone, iron, Ice etc.
- Liquid - A liquid has a definite volume but not definite shape.
Example - water, Juice, milk, oil, etc.
- Gases - A gas neither has definite shape nor a definite volume.
Example - air. hydrogen, oxygen. water vapour etc

Three states of Matter are:-
- Solid
- Liquid
- Gas
Solids
- The solid state is one of the fundamental states of matter.
- Solids differ from liquids and gases by the characteristic of rigidity.
- The molecules of solids are tightly packed because of strong intermolecular forces; they only oscillate about their mean positions..
- Solids can be defined as the state of matter which has definite shape and volume and has a rigid structure.
- Solids possess the least compressibility and thermal expansion.
Example: Iron (Fe)
Liquids
- The molecules in a liquid are closely packed due to weak intermolecular forces.
- These forces are weaker than solids but stronger than that of gases.
- There is much space in between the molecules of liquids which makes their flowing ability easy.
- Liquids can easily acquire the shape of a vessel, and they have a fixed volume.
- Conversion of solids into liquids takes place when we increase the temperature of solids to a point where solids begin to melt.
- Generally, the density of liquid lies between the density of solids and gases. Compressibility and thermal expansion of liquids are slightly higher than that of solids.
Example: Water (H2O)
Gases
- In this state of matter, distances between the molecules are large (intermolecular distance is in the range of
- The intermolecular forces experienced between them are negligible.
- Thus, translatory, rotatory and vibratory motions are observed prominently in gases.
- Gases do not have any fixed shape or volume.
- They also possess high compressibility and thermal expansion.
Example: Oxygen (O2)
