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.

Compare Solids and Liquids using the Venn Diagram?

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.


How are solids liquids gases differnent from each other?

Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither a fixed shape nor volume and expand to fill their container. The particles in solids are tightly packed, in liquids they are loosely packed, and in gases they are far apart. Additionally, solids have the strongest intermolecular forces, followed by liquids, then gases.

What is the difference between solids liquids and gases in terms of kinetic energy?

Solids have the lowest kinetic energy as their particles are tightly packed and have limited motion. Liquids have higher kinetic energy than solids as their particles can move past each other. Gases have the highest kinetic energy as their particles are far apart and move freely.
