Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Molecules in a liquid have less force of attraction as compared to solids. But liquid molecules have more force of attraction as compared to gases.

Since molecules of a gas are held together by weak Vander waal forces, therefore, they expand to fill the container whereas molecules in a liquid are not expanded in a container like gases because of more force of attraction within molecules of liquids as compared to gases.

Hence, a liquid can take the shape of container in which it is kept.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, a liquid change to take the shape of its container but NOT expand to fill the container itself because the particles of a liquid are held together loosely enough to flow, but not so loose that they expand.

Among K, Ca and Ba, which element possess low ionization energy?
deff fn [24]

Among the elements Barium has the lowest Ionization Energy.

<h3>What is Ionization Process ?</h3>

The process by which any neutral atom gets converted into electrically charged by gaining or losing electron is called Ionization Process.

K  is an alkali metal  it has to lose one electron to attain stable electronic configuration of an inert gas

For removing second electron , a stable configuration has to be broken and so will require high amount of energy.

Ca and Ba are alkaline earth metals.

They both have to lose 2 electrons to attain  stable electronic configuration of noble gas.

They have low Iow Ionization Energy as compared to K.

Ca has higher  Ionization Energy as compared to Ba because when we move down the periodic table , The ionization energy decreases.

Hence , Among the elements Barium has the lowest Ionization Energy.
