    Liquids have molecules that are more loosely arranged than solids but more closely arranged than gases. They can flow because their molecules can slide past one another. Liquids have a fixed volume and take the shape of their container as they have no fixed shape of their own.

    1-The molecules of liquids are more losely arranged as compared to solids but less than gases.

    2-It can flow because of thee reason that their molecules can slide past each other.

    3-They have no fixed shape but have fixed volume that is why they can takes the of tye container in
    which they are poured.

    Solids:
    All solids show the following characteristics-

    (i) Solids are rigid, and incompressible.

    ADVERTISEMENTS:

    (ii) Solids have fixed shape and definite volume.

    (iii) Solids have their melting and boiling points above room
    temperature.

    Liquids:
    All liquids show the following characteristics:

    (i) Liquids are almost incompressible but less incompressible than


    solids.

    ADVERTISEMENTS:

    (ii) Liquids have fixed volume but no fixed shape.

    (iii) Liquids flow from higher to lower level.


    (iv) Liquids have their melting points below room temperature and
    boiling points above room temperature, under normal conditions.

    Gases:
    All gases show the following characteristics:

    ADVERTISEMENTS:

    (i) Gases are highly compressible, i.e. gases can be compressed easily by
    applying pressure.

    (ii) Gases have no fixed volume and shape. Gases fill the container of any
    size and shape completely.

    (iii) Gases can diffuse into each other rapidly.

    (iv) Gases have their melting and boiling points both below room
    temperature.
