Detailed explanation-1: -In a liquid, the particles are still in close contact, so liquids have a definite volume. However, because the particles can move about each other rather freely, a liquid has no definite shape and takes a shape dictated by its container.

Detailed explanation-2: -Liquids occupy definite volume but have no definite shape. This is because the inter-molecular force of attraction between the molecules in a liquid is less when compared to solids and the liquid molecules are loosely packed. In a liquid, the particles are in close contact and so they have a definite volume.

Detailed explanation-3: -Liquids have a definite volume but indefinite shape and size. This is because the intermolecular forces of attraction in liquids are quite weak as compared to the solid states.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -This means the shape of the material does not change, and it can’t be compressed. Liquids do not have a definite shape, but have a definite volume. This means that a liquid will take the shape of whatever container it is in, but the liquid can’t be compressed.
