Detailed explanation-1: -There are three states of matter: solid; liquid and gas. They have different properties, which can be explained by looking at the arrangement of their particles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Liquid Definition In a liquid state of matter, particles are less tightly packed as compared to solids. Liquids take the shape of the container in which they are kept. Liquids are difficult to compress as particles have less space between them to move. Liquids have fixed volume but no fixed shape.

Detailed explanation-3: -A liquid is a type of matter with specific properties that make it less rigid than a solid but more rigid than a gas. A liquid can flow and does not have a specific shape like a solid. Instead, a liquid conforms to the shape of the container in which it is held.

Detailed explanation-4: -Liquids may be divided into two general categories: pure liquids and liquid mixtures.

Detailed explanation-5: -Solids – relatively rigid, definite volume and shape. In a solid, the atoms and molecules are attached to each other. Liquids – definite volume but able to change shape by flowing. In a liquid, the atoms and molecules are loosely bonded. Gases – no definite volume or shape.
