Answer:
Because the particles don't move, solids have a definite shape and volume, and can't flow. LIQUIDS - This means that liquid particles are further apart and can move about more easily. ... This is because the forces of attraction between the water particles pull the particles at the surface together.

Answer:
1. In other words, they have more gaps or intermolecular spaces.
2. Due to the large intermolecular forces, the intermolecular attractions are very less and thus liquids and gases can flow.
3. On the other hand, solids have very less intermolecular spaces.
4. Thus, solids do not flow.
