"False" solid's molicules are more compact. Liquid's molicules are less complact making it so that they can move, and take shape, but not hold one.

False, A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around. They are tightly packed together but for a liquid, they are loose and take the shape of the container. Depends on the liquid.
