Question

Identify an example of a liquid from the options given below.

• A. Nitrogen gas
• B. Snow
• C. Water vapour
• D. Sea water

Answer 1

The correct option is D Sea water

Sea water has definite volume but not definite shape. It takes up the shape of the container in which it is taken. Hence, it is a liquid.

However, neither water vapour nor nitrogen gas have a fixed shape and volume and hence, are gases. On the other hand, snow has a definite shape as well as volume. It is the solid form of water.
