Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Liquids do not have a definite shape and take the shape of the container they are in, unlike solids which have a definite shape. Liquids are not highly compressible, do not occupy the entire volume of their container like gases, their molecules are not separated by large distances, and they are not highly ordered with molecules rigidly in place.
