Give the reason for the existence of the three states of matter.
(N/A) The three states of matter exist due to differences in the following characteristics:
$(i)$ Interparticle space: The distance between particles varies,being minimum in solids and maximum in gases.
$(ii)$ Interparticle force: The force of attraction between particles is strongest in solids and weakest in gases.
$(iii)$ Kinetic energy: The movement of particles depends on their kinetic energy,which is lowest in solids and highest in gases.
