A liquid can easily change its shape but a solid can not because:

1. the density of a liquid is smaller than that of a solid.
2. the forces between the molecules is stronger in solid than in liquids.
3. the atoms combine to form bigger molecules in a solid.
4. the average separation between the molecules is larger in solids.
