Why do liquids flow and take the shape of their container while solids do not?
- Particles in a liquid can move past one another while remaining close together, but particles in a solid only vibrate in fixed positions.
- Particles in a liquid are far apart and do not attract each other at all.
- Particles in a solid can move freely but are heavier.
- Particles in both solids and liquids are fixed in place but have different sizes.
