Solution

Solids have a fixed shape because the particles are strongly held together and only have enough energy to vibrate around a fixed position. They do not have enough energy stored to overcome the strong forces of attraction between particles.

Solids are difficult to compress because the particles are close together and there is no room for them to move closer. This is due to the strong forces of attraction between particles.

Gases will spread and fill the entire container because the particles store enough energy to move randomly and can spread out in all directions. This means that the particles are not held in a fixed position and can move freely.

Gases are easy to compress because there are negligible forces of attraction between particles. They are far apart and can move closer. There is space between the particles so they can move closer.
