What are the properties of solids?

• Solids have definite shape and volume.

• Solids have indefinite shape and volume.

• Solids have only volume and no shape.

What are the properties of liquids?

• Liquids have a definite shape and volume

• Liquids cannot flow and take the shape of their container

• Liquids have a variable density

• Liquids have a definite volume, but no definite shape; they can flow and take the shape of their container; they have a fixed density; and they can be compressed to a limited extent.
