State	Particle Picture	Arrangement of Particles	Motion of Particles	Other Properties
Solids		Closely packed Regular pattern	Vibrate about a fixed position	Fixed shape Not easily compressed since particles are closely packed Strong bonds
Liquids		Closely packed No pattern	Free to flow over each other	Takes shape of its container Can be poured Not easily compressed since particles are closely packed Weak bonds
Gases		Widely spaced No pattern	Very fast moving Random directions	Fills its container Can be poured Easily compressed since its particles are far apart Very weak bonds
