👉 Fluid, also known as a liquid, is a state of matter characterized by its ability to flow and take the shape of its container. At the molecular level, fluid consists of molecules that are relatively close together but not tightly bound like in a solid. These molecules are in constant, rapid motion, colliding with each other and the walls of their container. This dynamic movement allows fluids to flow and fill any space, whether it's a small cup or a vast ocean. The intermolecular forces in fluids are weaker than those in solids, enabling the molecules to slide past one another rather than being held in fixed positions. This property of fluidity is crucial for various natural processes, including the circulation of blood in the body and the movement of water in rivers and oceans.
