| Molecules are not as tightly packed as in solids and intermolecular space is more than that in solids. | Intermolecular space is the maximum and the molecules are far apart. |
| Molecules have no fixed position can be compressed slightly are capable of flowing | Molecules move around freely can be easily compressed can flow in all directions. |
