Definite shape
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Liquids have the following characteristics: No definite shape (takes the shape of its container). Has definite volume. Particles are free to move over each other, but are still attracted to each other.
Detailed explanation-2: -A liquid has a definite volume but no definite shape of its own. The shape of a liquid changes with the shape of its container. The particles in a liquid are packed almost as closely together as in a solid. However, the particles in a liquid can move around freely.
Detailed explanation-3: -Liquids have a fixed volume but no fixed shape. Liquids can be compressed. Considerable high pressure is required to compress them. Liquids have lesser densities than solids. Intermolecular forces of attraction are weaker than solids. They have considerable space between the particles.
Detailed explanation-4: -Liquids do not have definite shapes; they take the shape of the container but have a definite volume. The particles of liquids are loosely packed than the particles in solids. They can be compressed to a small extent.
