- Answer:
- Because the particles cannot move around, a solid has a fixed shape. Liquids do not have a fixed shape but they do have a fixed volume. The particles are very close together

Answer:
Here is why
Explanation:
If the particles of a substance have enough energy to partially overcome intermolecular interactions, then the particles can move about each other while remaining in contact. This describes the liquid state. 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.
