Why can liquids change their shape for example why can water flow?

Gravity causes water to flow downhill. A blob of water released inside a spacecraft under zero gravity, will form a floating sphere. On earth, If there are no sides to retain the water, the water spreads out and forms a puddle.

Do liquids have a shape of its own?
Water, or liquids do not have a shape
What changes in size shape or state?
This is a physical change. An example is breaking glass. It does not change its material, but its size shape or state. A chemical change is where it reacts with something. Iron rusting is an example, as the iron reacts to water.
Has no definte shape or volume?
pretty much all gases and liquids. you cant describe air as a shape right?and gases expand to fill the contaonter they're in. Liquids don't have a shape because they are atrracted to each other, like water.
What liquid evaporate?
Many liquids evaporate, one example is water
Which has a definite volume and indefinite shape gas or liquid?
Super-cooled liquidsA gas takes the shape of its container and fills it, as well. A liquid takes the shape of its container but doesn't fill it necessarily. A solid has a definite volume and shape and usually, but not always, exhibits a crystalline structure. Solids that do not have a crystalline structure are sometimes called "super-cooled liquids" because liquids have no crystalline structure. Glass is a good example of a solid that has no crystalline structure.
Why solid do not mix well but gases and liquids mix easily in most cases?
Solids do not mix well because there shape can not change. But a liquid and a gas can change their form. For example- you can't just change the shape of ice, but you can change the shape of water. Hope that helps
Do liquids have a shape of its own?
Water, or liquids do not have a shape
What are some solids that change into liquids?
Ice turns to water is the first example that comes into my mind.
Do liquids have definite shape like solids.why?
No they don't because liquids have no definite shape like water when you put it in a square shaped beaker and you put water in a cylinder shaped beaker they don't have the same shape right? So that's why they don't have a definite shape. Thanks! :)

Why can liquids change shapes but solids cannot?
a Solid can change shape but humans and erosion would have to do that. Liquids on the other hand will form into any mold that you put it in. It also depends on the hardness. A rock is hard so it is harder to form. Water isn't hard so it is easier to mold.
How does water get its shape?
Liquids adopt the form of the container because the bonds between molecules are very weak.
Does water keep its shape and volume?
Even though a liquid can change shape to fit in to a square, circular, rectagular or evenÊaÊflatÊcontainer, Liquid still retains its volume. Liquids always have a definate volume but they can always change shape.
What are two examples of liquids that can change to solids?
water
What does not miscable mean?
Immiscible liquids are liquids that do not mix. The most known example is Water and Oil.
How does solid change into liquid and gas?
Solids can be change into liquid by melting for example the ice. It will melt by just minutes in exposure of sunlight.. Liquid can be turned to gas by evaporating. Example a water can evaporate when heated..... :)
Densely packed arrangement of particles that take the shape of their container?
liquids because water and other liquids take shapes of their containers
