∙ 11y agoLiquids and gases adopt the shape of their container, while solids maintain their own shape regardless of the container.
Solids have a definite shape and volume, while liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container. Liquids can flow and take the shape of the container they are in, unlike solids which have a fixed shape.
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.
Solids have a definite shape and volume, with particles that are closely packed and have little movement. Liquids, on the other hand, have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, with particles that are more loosely packed and able to move past each other. Liquids flow and can be poured, while solids maintain their shape.
Solids have a definite shape and volume, while liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container. Gases have neither a definite shape nor volume and expand to fill their container.
Liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, while solids have a fixed volume and shape. Liquids have higher molecular mobility compared to solids, allowing them to flow and take the shape of their container.

Gases, Liquids and solids are sometimes contrasted by the fact that liquids and gasses will take on the shape of the container that they are placed in while solids do not.
No, solids have a fixed shape and volume. They maintain their shape regardless of the container they are placed in.
The intermolecular forces in liquids are not so strong as in solids and liquids take the form of the container.

Liquids are malleable, meaning you can shape them, or they can change to fit the shape of the container they are being held in. Solids are basically classified as anything that can not(dramatically) change form or conform to another shape.

Yes, liquids take the shape of their container because the molecules can move freely and slide past each other. Unlike solids, liquids do not have a fixed shape.
Solids and liquids are both forms of matter with definite volumes. However, solids have a definite shape, while liquids take the shape of their container. Solids have particles tightly packed together, whereas liquids have particles that are more spread out and can move past each other.
