Solution

Liquids Gases

They have definite volume. They have indefinite volume.

Interparticle forces of attraction is stronger than gases but weaker than solids. Weakest interparticle forces of attraction.

Interparticle spaces are larger than solids but lesser than gases. Largest interparticle spaces.

They are incompressible. They are compressible.

Examples: Water, juice, milk, cold drink. Examples: Hydrogen gas, chlorine gas, air, vapours.
