Okay... Whoever wrote this was really stupid. One of the main characteristics of liquid is that it takes the shape of the bottom of it's container. So no, a liquid does not keep it's own shape. If it did, then it would be a solid.

What do solids keep?

Solids keep their shape and volume, meaning they maintain a fixed structure and do not flow like liquids or gases. The particles in solids are closely packed together, giving them a fixed shape that can only be changed by applying external force.


Liquids do not have a something?

Liquids do not have a defined shape.


What are the properties of liquids?

Liquids have definite volume but not definite shape, meaning they take the shape of their container. They have close particle arrangement and can flow easily. Liquids have higher density compared to gases and lower density compared to solids.


Do Liquids have a fixed but do not have a fixed?

No, liquids do not have a fixed volume - their volume is that of the container


What are the differences between solids and liquids?

Solids have a fixed shape and volume, while liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container. Solids have strong intermolecular forces that keep their particles in a fixed position, whereas liquids have weaker forces that allow their particles to move around but remain close together. Solids typically have a higher density than liquids.


Does liquids have definite volume and shape?

They have a definite volume, as they cannot be compressed. However they do not have a definite shape, they will take the shape of whatever they are stored in.
