1. Solids have definite shape and volume, strong intermolecular forces, fixed particle arrangement, high density, low compressibility, and resistance to flow. They maintain their shape and do not conform to their container.

  2. Gases have indefinite shape and volume, low density, highly compressible, and expand to fill their container. They exhibit rapid and random motion of particles and weak intermolecular forces compared to solids and liquids.

  3. Liquids have definite volume but indefinite shape, moderate density, moderate compressibility, and flow easily. They exhibit cohesion, surface tension, and adhere to container walls due to intermolecular forces.

  4. Solids have definite shape and volume, rigid structure due to strong intermolecular forces, limited molecular motion, and retain their shape unless subjected to external forces causing deformation or phase change.

  5. Matter exists in different states due to variations in intermolecular forces and kinetic energy of particles. These factors determine the arrangement and motion of particles, leading to distinct properties.
