STATES OF MATTER
LIQUID :
In liquids molecules are pretty close to each other. The molecules does not have lot of space between them. The molecules can not squeezed closer to one another.

-
In a solid state, particles are "packed" closely together and are not free to move about within the substance. Molecular motion for the particles in a solid is confined to very small vibrations of the atoms around their fixed positions. Conclusion is this - solids have a fixed shape that is difficult to change. Also, solids have a definite volume.

GASSES
Gasses do not possess any definite volume or shape. They totally fill all the space accessible to them. The characteristic or properties of gases to fill the available volume within a container is the result of the freedom that gas particles have to move everywhere in the accessible space. This autonomy of movement of gaseous molecules is because of the very weak binding forces amidst molecules. In other words, their intermolecular forces are very weak. V

PLASMA
Like gases, plasmas have no fixed shape or volume, and are less dense than solids or liquids. But unlike ordinary gases, plasmas are made up of atoms in which some or all of the electrons have been stripped away and positively charged nuclei, called ions, roam freely.
