Liquids, because they flow, can occupy whatever shape their container has, so they do not have a fixed shape. Because the particles in liquids are very close together (barely further apart than in solids) liquids do not easily compress, so their volume is fixed. Gases can also flow, so occupy the shape of their whole container.

Liquids, because they flow, can occupy

whatever shape their container has, so

they do not have a fixed shape. Because

the particles in liquids are very close

together (barely further apart than in

solids) liquids do not easily compress,

so their volume is fixed. Gases can also

flow, so occupy the shape of their whole

container.
