Answer:They will change shape to fit a container and have definite volume

Explanation: There are three states of matter: solids, liquids and gases.

Molecules of liquids are quite close together, thus they have a definite volume but the force of attraction between them are not as strong as it is in solids, thus the molecules of liquids move about each other freely. This makes liquids to flow and take the shape of the container. This means that liquids have no definite shape rather takes the shape of the container.
