The particles of a liquid are not chemically bound to the other particles (the particles are generally molecules) around them. They do have some attraction for the other particles, which is why they are a liquid rather than a gas, however, the attraction applies equally to all the particles in the liquid, rather than being a specific attachment to neighboring particles. Consequently the particles move independently of each other, which makes liquids shapeless and able to be poured and to take the shape of a container.
I think because the liquid, unlike the solid, has molecules with more space which they can move around in. The liquid can take the shape of its container probably because of the same fact, unlike the solid, since the liquid molecules have more space between, they can move freely in a container and they can take its shape without the water escaping. Gases can escape through small openings in the container lid and unlike the liquid, could escape from the container. The liquid has just the right amount of space in between each molecule such that they couldn't escape through these openings which the gases could escape to.
In other words, liquids do not have a definite shape.
If you pour a liquid into a container, it will take the shape of the container, provided none overflows. Under the influence of gravity, a liquid will stay in an open container, such as a cup.
it takes the shape of the container you pour it into
Liquid and gas molecules.
What takes a shape of a container and moves around freely I have no definite volume

A liquid follows the form of its container because its particles are far apart and there for do not hold any specific shape.
Yes. A liquid has a definite shape and when a liquid is poured into a container, the liquid takes on the shape of the container.
Liquids. ... In a liquid, the particles are still in close contact, so liquids have a definite volume. However, because the particles can move about each other rather freely, a liquid has no definite shape and takes a shape dictated by its container.
A liquid takes the shape of any solid that it is contained within. For example water within a square container will appear square, but water within a triangular container will appear triangular.
Because its particles are free to move, a liquid has no definite shape. However, it does have a definite volume.

Yes, pressure in the liquid caused by its molecules constantly being in motion force it to take on the shape of its container (within limits).
A liquid.
Due to the constant motion of the particles in a liquid, the particles could theoretically keep moving so that the liquid never takes a form. But putting the liquid into a container effectively throws a huge wall in front of the moving particles that they cannot get past. the particles hit the sides of the container and change direction. The liquid then remains in that shape despite the fact that its particles are still moving (hitting the sides of the container). Because a liquid has stronger intermolecular forces than gases, the liquid stays in liquid form and does not just evaporate once it is put into a container and its particles hit an obstacle.
They dont
liquid take shape of the container because the liquid particles stay together but they still more around. solid does not take the shape of the container, because solid is solid. The molecules cannot form the of the container because the molecules a very near each other.Only liquid can take the shape of the container. Thank you.
The particles of a liquid move from one place to another although they are close together. Because of this, a liquid changes shape depending on the container they are put in. It does not have a fixed shape. The volume of a liquid is fixed; it can be measured.
ANY substance can do that as long as it is in the liquid phase.
A liquid takes the shape of its container.
Yes. A liquid has a definite shape and when a liquid is poured into a container, the liquid takes on the shape of the container.
