Answer 1

liquids have he ability to change shape

liquids flow even with some resistance

liquids have a definite volume

liquids have molecules that slip past each other

Answer 2

Answer;

• Liquids have the ability to change shape.
• Liquids flow, even with some resistance.
• Liquids have definite volume
• Liquids have molecules that slip past each other.

Explanation;

• Liquids are one of the three states of matter, others being solids and gases.
• Liquids are characterized by particles that are apart as compared to solid particles which are very closely packed, however they are still in contact unlike the case of gaseous particles.
• Liquids have a definite volume but an indefinite shape, thus they occupy the volume of the container they are put.
• Additionally, they are capable of flowing and take any shape. This is due to the presence of inter-molecular forces which allow the molecules to slide past each other freely.
