Question

Which of the following statements are true about gases?

• A. Have a fixed volume.
• B. Highly compressible.
• C. They are fluids.
• D. No fixed shape.

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C), (D)

The correct options are
B Highly compressible.
C They are fluids.
D No fixed shape.

Gases have less interparticle force of attraction. Because of this,

1. They do not have a definite shape.
2. They do not have a definite volume.
3. They flow.

They have large interparticle space in them because of which the particles can move closer, when pressure is applied on it. Hence, they are highly compressible.
