The document describes three states of matter based on the movement and arrangement of particles. Solid matter has particles that vibrate in fixed positions due to strong attractive forces. Liquid matter has particles that can slide past one another while still being closely packed due to moderate attractive forces. Gas matter has particles that can move freely over long distances with no fixed pattern due to weak attractive forces.

1. Movement:
~held together by very strong forces of
attraction.
~unable to move about freely.
~vibrate about their fixed positions.
Arrangement:
~packed very closely together.
~fixed, regular pattern.

2. Movement:
~held together by strong forces of
attraction.
~able to slide past one another.
Arrangement:
~packed very closely together.
~no fixed, regular pattern.

3. Movement:
~held together by weak forces of
attraction.
~able to move about freely over long
distances.
Arrangement:
~packed closely together.
~no fixed,regular pattern.
