Solid: Rigid Structure, the most dense (few exceptions).
Liquid: Not as dense. Conforms to any shape.
Gas: Conforms to any shape. Molecules are very far apart from each other. This is the lightest.
Plasma: Ionized Gas
You can beat someome with a solid
You can drown someone with a liquid
and you can make someone choke with gas
And uh....you can cause corrosion with Plasma.

All substances can exist in three phases: Solid, liquid, and gas. The average speed of molecular motion determines a substance's phase. Temperature, in turn, is a measure of the average speed of molecular motion.
SOLID: the molecules are linked together. A solid has a definite shape and a definite volume, you can change the shape and volume of solids, but to change it you will have to manipulate it.
LIQUID: the molecules move too fast to remain totally attach but they remain attached. Liquid has a definite volume but no definite shape.Volume means it takes up space, but it takes the shape of its container. LIquids can flow, be poured, and spilled.
VAPOR: the molecules move fast enough and remain detached from each other. It has a shape or size of its own.

These states, as they are called, depend on the mobility of the molecles making up the matter.
Solids (like ice)--the molecules are relatively fixed in place.
Liquids (like water)--the molecules are free to move over and around each other.
Gases (like steam)--the molecules are free to move away from each other.
Not all things have all three states. For example, dry ice (solid state CO2) becomes gaseous without first becoming liquid. Transitions from state to state involve the absorption or release of energy. Ice melts, for example, when its temperature goes above 32 deg. F. Its temperature rises because it aborbs heat energy.

are u serious? You learn this like 100 times in school.
It depends on how dense the molecules are. Solid means they are very dense and cant move, liquid they are less dense and can move a little, and gas they are not dense at all and are floating around having a good time.

solids have their own shape, and retain that shape - a crystal (dense molecular structure)
liquids will take the form of their container - water (loose molecular structure)
gases can be compressed into a liquid or solid - like liquid nitrogen or dry ice.

Solid: Rigid Structure,
Liquid: Not as dense. Conforms to any shape.
Gas: Conforms to any shape. Molecules are very week

I much rather be considered beautiful than sexy. I see sexy as provocative. Where beautiful is more breath taking. A Sexy woman would be more apt to wear a mini skirt, high heels, and a tank top A beautiful woman would be more apt to wear a pair of nice fitting jeans and an off the shoulder blouse with heeled boots. A truly beautiful woman can be seen as such wearing conservative clothing and not needing to show a lot of skin.

Solids
Keep their shape unless they are broken
Do not flow
Cannot be compressed (keep the same volume)
Liquids
Do not keep their shape, they take the shape of the container thay are in
Flow
Cannot be compressed (keep the same volume)
Gases
Do not keep their shape, they completely fill the container that they are in
Flow, spread out quickly from where they are to start with (this is called diffusion)
Can be compressed (squashed into a much smaller volume)

Solids resist any change in shape and are not compressable. Liquids will change shape but cannot be compressed and may or may not fill a container, gasses will change shape, always fill their conteiner (by changing density) and can be compressed.

the molecules in solids are more tightly packed together.
" " liquids are more free to flow around
" " gases are free to flow around.
