Question

Liquids have definite volume but no fixed shape.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Anything that occupies space and has mass is called matter. The three forms of matter are:

• Solids
• Liquids
• Gases

The properties of liquids are:

1. Liquids have a definite volume but indefinite shape and size.
2. The particles of the liquid take the shape and volume of the container in which they are kept.
3. They are less dense than solids.
4. They have low compressibility. Due to the presence of empty spaces among the particles they are more compressible than solids.
5. They show diffusion.
6. In liquids, the particles are packed slightly loosely.

Conclusion: Hence, the given statement is true.
