11. distinguish among solids, liquids, and gases on the basis of their shape, their volume, and how their
particles are packed together. use a minimum of three complete content related sentences
(ref: p.70-73)

Explanation:

Solids are matters whose shape are usually fixed. They have a definite volume which be measured at any point. The particles of solids are usually arranged in an order manner or pattern based on their crystal lattices. Solid particles are tightly and closely packed together and are held by a very strong attractive force.

Liquids do not have a fixed shape. Liquids have a definite volume which can easily be determined. The particles of liquids are closely packed and held by a stronger attractive force than those of gases but less strong when compared solids.

Gases do not have a fixed volume or shape. They occupy any volume of space they are found in. Particle of gases are poorly packed and they are held by weak attraction forces between their particles.
