Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

The liquids have properties in between solids and gas.

They have intermediate intermolecular interactions and thermal energy.

unlike solids they can occupy the particles do move here and there however the kinetic energy is less than that of gas.

Similar to gas they can take the shape of the container.

Also, they can move away from each other to fill the container upto their maximum volume.

Gases can fill the container upto the volume of container.
