Solids have a fixed volume and shape as their particles cannot move, while liquids have a fixed volume but no shape as particles can move around each other allowing it to flow and take the container's shape. Gases have no fixed volume or shape as particles move quickly in all directions, allowing gases to fill their container and be compressed as particles are farther apart than in solids and liquids.

cannot flow, because their particles cannot move from place to place cannot be compressed, because their particles are close together and have no space to move into Liquids:
have a fixed volume but no fixed shape
can flow and take the shape of their container, because their particles can move around each other cannot be easily compressed, because their particles are close together and have no space to move into Gases:
have no fixed shape or volume
can flow and completely fill their container, because their particles can move quickly in all directions can be compressed, because their particles are far apart and have space to move into
