because solids have shapes
To improve upon the above answer.
Solids have a definite shape and size, whereas liquids and gasses do not. Liquids have definite volume, but do not have a definite shape, and gasses have no definite shape or volume.

Why liquids are less common than other two states of matter on earth?
Liquids are less common than solids and gases on Earth because of the specific conditions required for them to exist. Liquids require a specific range of temperature and pressure to be present. Additionally, liquids can easily change into gases due to the mobility and energy of their particles, which further decreases their prevalence compared to solids and gases.
Are weak acids liquids?
Some are, such as acetic acid. Other such as hydrocyanic acid are gases while others, such as citric acid are solids..
How do forces between particles in solids compare to forces in the other states of matter?
Particles in solids are of course stronger. That binding force is called cohesion. Cohesion is more in solids than liquids than gases. By: Kiran... 9844634245
Why do liquids and solids expand with temperature and not compressible like a gas?
Most solids and liquids expand with temperature (ice is an exception - it contracts with increased temperature) because there is more energy in the particles, and therefore they move faster and take up more space. They are not compressible, however, because the particles in solids and liquids are touching each other, and so have a specific volume, unlike gases.
How can solids become liquids and liquids to solids?
Solids become liquids when the temperature reaches melting point, groups of particles start to brake away from each other. This is when the solid starts becoming a liquid. Liquids become solids on cooling, the particles move slower and become a solid.
Name the property that liquids and solids share?
It is atoms
Why gases are compressible?
Gases are compressible because their molecules bounce off of each other instead of sticking together. The molecules of solids and liquids stick together instead of moving freely.
Do all objects absorb heat?
yes as long as they are cooler than the air around them or other gases solids and liquids!
Why its difficult to store gases than solids or liquids?
because, it evaporates quicker than any other solid or liquid
What happenes during dissolving?
For the dissolution of a solid in a liquid this solute is decomposed in atoms or ions; for the dissolution of gases in liquids or dissolution of solids in solids other processes are involved.

What property of molecules gives solids and liquids their definite volumes?
most likely the intermolecular forces. Solids have stronger intermolecular forces due to them being in closer proximity and contact between each other as opposed to liquids and gases.
Are weak acids liquids?
Some are, such as acetic acid. Other such as hydrocyanic acid are gases while others, such as citric acid are solids..
Solids and liquids both have fixed?
Solids and liquids both have fixed volumes... in that if they are put into a container, they will not expand to fill the container. Gases on the other hand, do the exact opposite - they expand to fill their containers, thus not having fixed volumes.
Is it true liquids expand more than gases?
No! Gases have the most potential for expansion. Their molecules are farther apart and more loosly held than either liquids or solids. In fact, it is their molecular distance and ability to expand apart from each other that make them gases.
Why gases compress?
Gases are compressible because their molecules bounce off of each other instead of sticking together. The molecules of solids and liquids stick together instead of moving freely.
Why is gas denser than liquids and solids?
Gas isn't denser than liquids and solids. It's the other way around. And THIS is because the atoms in liquids and solids are closer together and there is less space to move around. In solid objects, the atoms are so close and compacted they don't move. in liquids, the atoms are a little bit farther apart. in gases, they are very spread out, making the amount of atoms LESS dense than the solids.
