Liquids

Compared to the particles in solids, the particles in a liquid have more energy, though they do not have as much energy as the particles in a gas. The particles in a liquid have enough energy to move, and switch places, which eliminates any pattern or structure. They move by sliding past each other, which is why liquids flow. The motion of liquid particles means that liquids have no real shape, they simply take the shape of whatever container they are put in, always filling from the bottom up.
The particles in a liquid are close together but not as close as in a solid, making liquids less dense. Even though they are slightly farther apart, the particles in a liquid cannot really be squeezed closer together, making liquids difficult to compress, which is why belly flops hurt.

Liquids are described as having an indefinite shape, but a definite volume, as they will not change size but can change shape based on they container they are put into.

When placed into a container, a liquid will take the shape of the bottom of the container, but remain the same volume.

Examples of liquids include: juice, water oil, milk, soda and vinegar.
