Question

A liquid is highly compressible.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Liquid:

• A liquid has a definite volume but no definite shape and takes up the shape of the container it is stored in.
• The intermolecular forces of attraction in liquids are weaker than in solids.
• Due to the weak intermolecular force of attraction, the molecules in liquids are loosely packed and the intermolecular space between the molecules is more as compared to solids.
• So, due to the large intermolecular space, the liquid can be compressed up to a small extent.
• Examples: Water

Hence, the given statement is false.
