  • definite volume
  • no definite shape-takes the shape of its container
  • molecules move fast enough to overcome some attraction
  • molecules slide over each other
  • molecules aren't fixed in place but can't move as freely as in a gas
  • molecules are already so close together, that they can't be pushed any closer
  • good for hydraulic systems
  • has 2 significant properties:surface tension & viscosity
  • different liquids have different surface tensions
  • the stronger the particle's attractions, the more viscous the liquid is
