Name the physical state of matter which can flow but cannot fill the vessels completely.

Open in App

Solution

Gases can easily flow due to their large interparticle space but, cannot fill a container, unlike liquids, due to their high rate of diffusion, which in turn is because of the high intermolecular speed.
Thus, gases can flow but cannot fill a vessel completely.
