Explain what occurs with the particles in a solid, liquid, and gaseous state of matter.
What is Solid: Particles locked in place and do not move easily. Liquid: Takes shape of container that holds it. It has little free space between particles, but particles can slide or move past one another. Gaseous: Assumes the shape and volume of its container. There is a lot of free space and particles can move fast and freely past each other.
