Liquid is a state of matter that can be poured but cannot be squashed into a smaller space.

Liquids are a **state of matter** that:

Can be poured and will flow. Cannot hold their shape Fit the shape of the container.


Liquids cannot be squashed into a smaller size. You can change their shape, but their size stays the same.

Examples of liquid materials:

Liquid is a State of Matter where the particles are in a random arrangement touching but can slide past each other.


A liquid can be poured and will flow because the particles can slide past each other. Liquids cannot hold their shape because the particles can slide past each other. Liquids fit the shape of the container because the particles can slide past each other.


Liquids cannot be squashed into a smaller size because the particles are already touching so they can't get any closer together.
