Arrangement & motion of particles to explain the physical state:
Solid - The particles of a sold are close together and in a regular pattern. The particles move very little. In solids, the particles are held together by a strong force of attraction.
Liquid - The particles of a liquid are a bit further apart than in a solid and in a less regular pattern. The particles move past each other and keep changing positions as they have more energy than solid partivles thus able to move by rolling and gliding throughout the liquid.
Gas - The particles of a gas is far apart. They have no pattern. The particles can move whenever they can. The particles of a gas are almost free of attraction from each other as they have sufficient energy to overcome forces of attraction completely.
