![]() Liquids have fixed volume but no fixed shape. ![]() Liquids are difficult to compress as particles have less space between them to move. Liquids take the shape of the container in which they are kept. In a liquid state of matter, particles are less tightly packed as compared to solids. How are liquids different from other states of matter? Liquid – A liquid has a definite volume but not definite shape. Solids- A solid has a definite shape and definite volume. ![]() The three states of matter are: solids, liquids and gases. Which is an example of the three states of matter? Gaseous matter is composed of particles packed so loosely that it has neither a defined shape nor a defined volume. A solid will retain its shape the particles are not free to move around. Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas. The observation that matter occupies space goes back to antiquity. For example, a car would be said to be made of matter, as it has mass and volume (occupies space). A common or traditional definition of matter is “anything that has mass and volume (occupies space)”.
