It is difficult to cut a stream of water. Why?

Solution

Water is a liquid state of matter.
It has a definite mass and volume but no regular arrangement of atoms or a definite shape.
The particles of liquid slide over each other.
The inter-particle spaces between the particles are more and they have more kinetic energy than solids.
Water is fluid, it can flow but we can not cut a stream of water.
