Solution
| S.No. | Solid | Liquid | Gas |
| 1. | Definite shape and volume | No definite shape, it attains the shape of the vessel | it has neither a definite shape nor a definite volume. |
| 2. | Incompressible | Compressible to a small extent | Highly compressible. |
| 3. | Little space between the particles | Greater space between the particles | Greater space between the particles. |
| 4. | Particles cannot move freely | Particles move freely | Particles are in a continuous, random motion. |
