possible answers
fixed shape and volume least dense expands to fill the entire container, volume can change
most dense (except for ice) highest kinetic energy fixed volume but takes shape of the container
particles are touching but not organized. lowest kinetic energy

Explanation:

Solids have a fixed shape and volume and lowest kinetic energy among the three states. Liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of the container, and particles are touching but not organized. Gases are least dense, expand to fill the container with a variable volume and have the highest kinetic energy.

Answer:

Solid: Fixed shape and volume, Lowest Kinetic Energy
Liquid: Fixed volume but takes shape of the container, Particles are touching but not organized
Gas: Least Dense, Expands to fill the entire container, volume can change, Highest Kinetic Energy
