Liquids have a definite volume but not a definite shape, flowing to fill the shape of their container. They are difficult to compress as molecules are closely packed with little empty space. Diffusion occurs more slowly in liquids than gases due to stronger intermolecular forces. Viscosity is a liquid's resistance to flow and depends on temperature and intermolecular forces, with higher viscosities resulting in slower flows. Condensation and vaporization are phase changes between liquids and gases driven by temperatures affecting molecular kinetic energies and abilities to overcome intermolecular forces.
