Question

Read the statements given below, and identify the correct option.
Statement I: Liquids have definite volume.
Statement II: Liquids have fixed shape.

• A. Statement I is false and II is true.
• B. Statement I is true and II is false.
• C. Both statements are false.
• D. Both statements are true.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Statement I is true and II is false.

The particles in liquids are farther apart than that in solids, but they are still close. Therefore, liquids have a definite volume. However, the particles have some space between each other and can move freely. So liquids have no definite shape and take the shape of their container. Hence, the statement I is true, and statement II is false.
