• Liquid and gas are fluid due to weak intermolecular forces.
• It is the ability of a substance to flow easily.
• A fluid will deform continuously on the application of shear stress.
• The deformation is seen as the motion of the fluid or the flow of the fluid.
• The particles of liquid and gas are able to move freely because there is a large space between them.
