Solids
The particles in a solid are closly packed into position.
They can vibrate but do not move from thier position.
As a result solids keep there shape and volume. As the particles are in fixed places, solids cannot flow and cannot be compressed (squashed)
Liduids
The particles in liquids are close to wach other but are free to move past each other. They do not tend to stick together, however. Liquids do have a define volume, but will take the shape of whatever container they are placed in. They cannot be easily compressed or squashed
Gases
In gases the particles are free to move in all directions. They do not keep a define shape or volume and always fill the container they are placed in. As the particles are very spread-out it is easy to compressed them into smaller volume
