Liquids have closely spaced molecules resulting in a close interaction between the molecules, unlike gas molecules which separate from each other leaving large volumes of space between the molecules. Non-Compressible liquids such as water, under static conditions, transmit pressure instantaneously, without loss, and equally in all directions throughout the body of liquid. Liquids have a constant volume but no fixed shape due to their low resistance to flow.
