Question

Write T for true and F for false.

Solids and liquids are both fluids.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. There are three states of matter.
2. They are solids, liquids, and gases.
3. Anything that can flow is fluid.
   1. In solids, the particles are closely packed and there is a strong force of attraction between the particles which holds them in a fixed position.
   2. In liquids, the particles are close together but are not so close as in solids.
   3. In gases, the particles are much farther apart from one another and are free to move in any direction.

Thus, liquids and gases can flow. So, they can be called fluids. Hence, the given statement is false. The answer is F.
