liquids freeze and boil.liquids:Do not keep their shape, they take the shape of the container they are inFlowCannot be compressed (keep the same volume)Liquids are used where we need something to flow e.g. for making a drink, or when we need something to take up the shape of a container such as a mould. A good example of this is making a jelly. The jelly (solid) has to be turned into a liquid (in this case by dissolving) so that it takes up the shape of the mould. It is then left to set (i.e. go solid again) so that it keeps its shape when removed from the mould.

Liquids have definite volume but not definite shape, meaning they take the shape of their container. They have close particle arrangement and can flow easily. Liquids have higher density compared to gases and lower density compared to solids.
