Solution

Gases also flow.

  • Liquid and gases are called fluids because of their ability to flow.
  • Gases have no definite shape nor definite volume because the molecules of gases are loosely packed.
  • As, They have weak intermolecular forces of attraction because the particles are far away from each other and that’s why they have large intermolecular spaces between the molecules.
  • The molecules can slip over one another.

Hence, the correct statement is Liquids can flow, gases can also flow.
