Question

Which state of matter (1) can (ii) cannot easily change its shape and volume?
Why?​

Answer 1

1)Liquid can change its shape..

The forces between liquid particles are weaker than the forces between solid particles. This means that liquid particles are further apart and can move about more easily. Since the particles can move, the liquid can flow and take the shape of its container.

2)Solid cannot change its shape.

Any matter that is a solid has a definite shape and a definite volume. The molecules in a solid are in fixed positions and are close together. Although the molecules can still vibrate, they cannot move from one part of the solid to another part. As a result, a solid does not easily change its shape or its volume.
