Which of the following best describes the properties of a liquid in terms of shape, volume, compressibility, speed of atoms, and distance between atoms?

• Takes the shape of its container, has a fixed volume, is not easily compressible, atoms move moderately fast, and atoms are moderately spaced.

• Has a fixed shape and volume, is easily compressible, atoms move very fast, and atoms are widely spaced.

• Takes the shape of its container, has a fixed volume, is easily compressible, atoms move slowly, and atoms are closely packed.

• Has a fixed shape, no fixed volume, is not compressible, atoms move very slowly, and atoms are tightly packed.
