Explanation:

Any material expands when heated and contracts when cooled. So, when a body is heated to a particular temperature, it starts melting and changes into a liquid.

As the material expands the distance between the atoms or molecules increases and it will become a liquid. So it can move around the material. It doesn't become solid on further heating. But water is an exception where it contracts when heated from 0° to 4° C.

In solids, these atoms or molecules are closely packed. It is rigidly fixed.

The solid, as well as the liquid, has a definite volume, but the liquid does not have a definite shape.
