Liquid flows because of its viscosity.
matter with no definite shape or volume is fluid, or any substance that is able to flow.
True. Solids have a definite shape and volume because their particles are closely packed and do not move freely past each other. This results in solids having a fixed shape and not flowing like liquids or gases.
Water does not have its own shape because it takes the shape of its container due to its fluid nature. Its molecules are constantly moving and sliding past one another, allowing them to conform to the shape of the container they are in.
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.
A liquid will generally find it's own level.
A liquid does not have its own shape; instead, it takes the shape of its container. Unlike solids, which maintain a fixed shape, liquids are fluid and can flow, adapting to the boundaries of whatever holds them. This characteristic is due to the arrangement of their molecules, which are less tightly packed than those in solids.
liquid
They can't hold their shape on their own, so without a container they will flow all over the place.
a liquid. it takes the shape of its container
Gas and liquids have no form of their own gas just floats around and spreads out equally, liquid, also doesn't have its own shape and if u think about it, it never does because once you pour it out its taking a different shape
A substance that is lacking a definite shape is a liquid. Liquids take the shape of the container they are in but do not have a fixed shape of their own.
A liquid will fit in any shape of a (larger) container, a solid does not, because of its own 'solid' shape.
