Solution

Solids
Liquids
Gases
The intermolecular spaces are very small. The intermolecular space is larger compare to that of solid. The intermolecular spaces thousand times or more that liquids
The intermolecular force of attraction are large. Intermolecular forces fairly small as compared to solids. The intermolecular forces to almost negligible magnitude
The molecules of solids are tightly packed in a small volume The molecules in liquid are less tightly packed compare The molecules of a gas are free to move in any direction and so occupy all the available space.
The solids have high density due to their small volume. Density is lower than solids. Density is least.
