Answer:

Solids and liquids are both states of matter and have a definite volume. However, a solid has a definite shape and a liquid does not (can flow). In a liquid, the atoms are loosely bonded and far apart from each other (not as far as gases). Solids vibrate tightly together.

Answer:

Solids and liquids are similar because, they have mass, desity, and volume.

They are different because: Liquids shape is dependent on the container it is held in while Solids hold a shape and can be flexible
