Elements, compounds and mixtures can be in various states like solids, liquids or gaseous. These are the three states of matter that we see in our everyday lives.
States of matter are due to physical changes and not chemical changes between molecules or atoms. 
The distance between neighboring atoms or molecules in a substance decides how tightly the binding is . In a solid, the atoms or molecules are very tightly bound. In comparison, in a liquid the binding is not very strong. In a gaseous state the binding is even weaker.
