Hello!
SOLID- atoms are packed tightly together with little movement. Has a definite shape and volume.

LIQUID- atoms are packed loosely together with some movement. Has a definite volume but NO definite shape.

GAS- atoms are spread out with lots of movement. Has NO definite shape or volume.

ICE- when a liquid turns into a solid (freezing).
WATER- when a solid turns into a liquid (heat is added)
WATER VAPOR- when a liquid turns into a gas (boiling)

Hope this helped!
