Characteristics of pure liquids: Firstly, a pure liquid gets the shape of the container in which it is poured. Secondly, there are very little spaces between the atoms as compare to the gas particles therefore, a pure liquid is not easily compressible. Thirdly, atoms of liquids can slide past one another therefore, a liquid can flow very easily.
Characteristics of pure solids: Firstly solids have fixed shape and volume. Secondly, the space between the atoms of solids are less than liquids and gases therefore, solids are incompressible. Thirdly, pure solids cannot flow or their shape cannot be changed and they occupy a fixed place.
