The video tutorial explores the three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. It compares their properties such as shape, volume, compressibility, and whether they fill their container. Solids have a fixed shape and volume, are rigid, and are difficult to compress. Liquids have a fixed volume but no fixed shape, are fluids, and are almost incompressible. Gases have neither a fixed shape nor volume, are highly compressible, and fill their container completely. The video also examines these states at a particle level, discussing particle distance, force of attraction, and kinetic energy. Interactive questions are posed to engage viewers.
