उत्तर
Liquids possess a definite volume but lack a fixed shape. The molecules in a liquid are less tightly packed compared to those in solids, leaving more space between them. This allows the molecules to move more freely. The intermolecular forces of attraction in liquids are weaker than in solids, which is why liquids do not maintain a specific shape but instead conform to the shape of the container they occupy. Despite this, liquids retain a constant volume.
