a definite/fixed volume but no definite shape

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The molecules can vibrate but do not move around which keeps the shape and volume definite. (b) Liquids have no definite shape but definite volume because the molecules in liquid are not so closely packed and they have space between them.
Detailed explanation-3: -Liquids have a fixed volume but no fixed shape. Gases have no fixed volume and no fixed shape. Gases expand to fill the space available. They can also be compressed into a very small space.
