Detailed explanation-1: -2) Liquids – have no definite shape but have a definite volume, and they are not easily compressible. Molecules are close together, but are not held so rigidly in position and can move past one another.
Detailed explanation-2: -If particles do not have enough kinetic energy to overcome the force of attraction between them, matter exists as a solid. The particles are packed closely together and held rigidly in place. All they can do is vibrate. This explains why solids have a fixed volume and a fixed shape.
Detailed explanation-3: -Solids. In the solid state, the individual particles of a substance are in fixed positions with respect to each other because there is not enough thermal energy to overcome the intermolecular interactions between the particles. As a result, solids have a definite shape and volume.
