How does particle structure relate to the density of matter in the solid, liquid, and

gas phases?

Liquid particles are more energetic than solid particles and can move around but only within a certain distance from other particles. Because particles are further apart in a liquid, the volume of a substance in its liquid phase is greater than its volume in a solid phase.

Explanation:

Liquid particles are more energetic than solid particles and can move around but only within a certain distance from other particles. Because particles are further apart in a liquid, the volume of a substance in its liquid phase is greater than its volume in a solid phase. Materials have a solid, liquid and gas form. Each of these forms is known as a phase of matter. In each of its phases, the particles of a substance behave very differently. A substance can change from one phase to another through what is known as a phase transition. These phase transitions are mainly the result of temperature changes.
