Liquids flow easily, taking the shape of their container due to their ability to move past each other while maintaining cohesion. They exhibit viscosity, resisting flow at different rates.

Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, while solids maintain both definite shape and volume due to stronger intermolecular forces that restrict movement.
Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, while solids maintain both definite shape and volume due to stronger intermolecular forces that restrict movement.
Solids have a fixed shape and volume due to strong intermolecular forces that maintain their structural integrity. Unlike liquids and gases, solids do not flow or take the shape of their container.
Solids have a fixed shape and volume due to strong intermolecular forces that maintain their structural integrity. Unlike liquids and gases, solids do not flow or take the shape of their container.
Solids are considered rigid because their particles are tightly packed and maintain fixed positions due to strong intermolecular forces, resulting in minimal movement and resistance to deformation.

Solids resist deformation when subjected to an outside force due to their strong intermolecular bonds. They maintain their shape and volume unless the applied force exceeds their strength, causing structural changes.

How do liquids behave in terms of flow and shape change?
Liquids flow easily, taking the shape of their container due to their ability to move past each other while maintaining cohesion. They exhibit viscosity, resisting flow at different rates.
