There are 3 distinct states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. The molecular differences between these states are determined by the ability of their kinetic energies to overcome the forces of attraction among the molecules. Out of them, Gaseous state of matter exhibits the highest degree of freedom for movement in 3 dimensional space. This allows gases not only to acquire the shape of the container but also to adapt its volume to occupy the container as well. Interestingly, these moving gas molecules are responsible for three major phenomena distinct from each other.
