Solid
They do not have a fixed shape. They change their shape depending on the container they are in
Liquid and gas

Liquid
The molecules are packed slightly less closely together
Liquid
Less attraction between molecules
Liquid
The molecules vibrate and they can move around each other freely.
Liquid
They spread out/expand and change their volume to fill up whatever container they are in.
