How much space is between particles? What is this space made of?
That makes sense. What about the behavior of liquids and solids?
The amount of space between particles in liquids and solids is much smaller than in gases, leading to different behavior. In liquids, particles are close enough to each other to form intermolecular bonds, leading to a fixed volume but no fixed shape. In solids, the particles are tightly packed and form a fixed shape and volume due to the strength of intermolecular bonds.
