The most common states of matter are solids, liquids, and gases.
Liquid Gas And Solid Molecules. The state of a substance depends on the balance between the kinetic energy of the individual particles (molecules or atoms). The atoms and molecules in gases are much more spread out than in solids or liquids.

Explain to students that the molecules of a gas have very little attraction for one another and barely interact with each other. Molecules occupy ordered crystal lattice, vibrating about their equilibrium positions. Understanding the difference between solid liquid and gas is important as they represent the three different states of matter.

Explain to students that the molecules of a gas have very little attraction for one another and barely interact with each other. In physics, a state of matter is one of the distinct forms in which matter can exist. Molecules occupy ordered crystal lattice, vibrating about their equilibrium positions.
