Solids have a fixed shape and cannot flow because the particles cannot move from place to place. Solids cannot be compressed or squashed because the particles are close together and have no space to move into

Liquid
Liquids flow and take the shape of their container because the particles can move around each other.Liquids cannot be compressed or squashed because the particles are close together and have no space to move into
4 of 7
Gas
Gases flow and completely fill their container because the particles can move quickly in all directions. Gases can be compressed or squashed because the particles are far apart and have space to move into.
