Here's why:

* Molecules slip and slide over each other: This is a key characteristic of liquids. The molecules have enough energy to move past each other, but not enough to break free completely like in a gas.

* Take shape of container: Liquids take the shape of their container because the molecules can flow and adjust to the container's form.

* Apart but still touch other: The molecules in a liquid are close enough to touch each other, but not as tightly packed as in a solid. This allows for some space between them, contributing to their fluidity.
