Solid has a definite shape and a definite size where as,
liquid has a definite volume but not a definite shape.
The molecules in a solid are closely packed where as the molecules in a liquid are loosely packed.
The intermolecular forces are very strong in a solid where as the intermolecular forces are less strong in a liquid.
Hope it helps☺
Solids state :
------------------
⏩Solids have definite shape and volume.
⏩Solids are rigid and non-compressible.
⏩Solids have high density. (except ice)
⏩Solids do not diffuse easily.
⏩Solids do not tend to flow.
⏩Intermolecular spaces are small and intermolecular forces of attraction are maximum.
Liquid state :
-------------------
⏩Liquids have definite volume but indefinite shape.
⏩Liquids are not rigid as well as non-compressible.
⏩Liquids have less density then solids.
⏩Liquids diffuse very slowly.
⏩Liquids tend to flow.
⏩Intermolecular space is more than solids, while intermolecular force of attraction is less than solids.
