Question

Liquid cannot be compressed.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

• Matter exists in three different states-solid, liquids, and gaseous.
• Liquids are substances that do not have a definite shape but have a definite volume.
• In liquids, molecules are less tightly packed and have weak intermolecular force between them.
• The molecules in a liquid have greater intermolecular space than in a solid.
• However, the intermolecular forces are strong enough to hold the molecules together.
• This gives the liquids a definite volume.
• Liquids take the shape of the container in which they are stored.
• They can flow and can be compressed to a small extent.

Hence the given statement is false, liquid cannot be compressed.
