Respuesta :

Probably because the particles that make up a solid are held in their place by the extremely strong forces of attraction
While in a liquid the forces of attraction between the particles are a bit weaker as compared to solids therefore allowing the liquid to flow and take the shape of its container

Answer:

A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around. Liquid matter is made of more loosely packed particles. It would take the shape of its container. Particles can move about within a liquid,  they are packed densely enough that volume is maintained.
