(i) Tea or coffee is sipped from the saucer, when it is quite hot because it has larger surface area than the cup. In larger surface area, the rate of evaporation is faster due to which tea or coffee cools rapidly. 

(ii) Liquids have indefinite shape. They take the shape of the container in which they are placed. This is due to the fact that the molecules of liquids are in a state of constant random motion and therefore they can move freely. So, the liquids possess fluidity.
