The particles in a gas move faster and are full of energy. However the particles in a solid do not have as much energy and vibrate in place

Yes, matter can exist in three different forms: solid, liquid, and gas. These forms are distinguished by the arrangement and movement of particles within the substance. In a solid, particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place; in a liquid, particles slide past each other but are still close together; and in a gas, particles are far apart and move freely.
The three phases of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. In a solid, particles are tightly packed and do not move freely. In a liquid, particles are close together but can move past one another. In a gas, particles are far apart and move freely.
The state with the least number of particles in a certain volume would be a gas, as the particles in a gas are more spread out and have more kinetic energy compared to particles in liquids or solids. This results in fewer particles occupying a specific volume in a gas compared to a liquid or solid.
When particles are heated, they gain energy and move faster, causing solids to melt into liquids and liquids to evaporate into gases. On the other hand, when particles are cooled, they lose energy and move slower, causing gases to condense into liquids and liquids to freeze into solids.
