| Solids cannot be compressed. | Liquids can be compressed. Large pressure is required to compress them. | Gases can be compressed easily. |
| Solids have high density. | Liquids have lesser density than solids. | Gases have the least density among the three. |
| The force of attraction between the particles is very strong. | The intermolecular force of attraction is weaker than solids | The intermolecular force of attraction is weakest. |
| The space between the particles of solids is negligible. | They have considerable space between the particles. | The space between gas particles is large. |
