In solids, molecules are closely packed and have strong intermolecular forces. This results in a fixed shape and volume as the molecules are always touching each other. Liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container (molecules are touching but can move past each other). Gases have neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume (molecules are far apart).
