Final answer:

Liquids maintain fixed volume but mold to container shape due to kinetic molecular theory.


Explanation:

Liquids maintain a fixed volume, but their shape will mold to the shape of the container they are in. Unlike gases, liquids do not fill the entire volume of the container, only taking the shape of the container while retaining a fixed volume. This behavior is explained by the kinetic molecular theory, which accounts for the closer proximity of liquid particles compared to gas particles.
