Question

Which state of matter takes both the shape and volume of its container?

Answer 1

10. is C or gas and 11. is B liquid.

Answer 2

Answer:

For 10: The correct answer is Option c.

For 11: The correct answer is Option b.

Explanation:

There are 3 states of matter:

Solid state: In this state, the particles are closely packed and does not have any space between them. Thus, this state of matter has the highest intermolecular forces of attraction.

This state have a definite shape and volume.

Liquid state: In this state, the particles are present in random and irregular pattern. The particles are closely arranged but they can move from one place to another. The intermolecular forces between the particles are less as compared to the solid state.

This state have a definite volume but does not have a fixed shape as they can take up the shape of container in which they are kept.

Gaseous state: In this state, the particles are loosely arranged and have a lot of space between them. Thus, this state of matter has the lowest intermolecular forces of attraction.

This state have indefinite volume as well as shape. It can take up the volume and shape of the container in which they are kept.

From the above information:

For 10: The state of matter which takes up the shape and volume of the container is gaseous state.

Hence, the correct answer is Option c.

For 11: The state of matter which has indefinite shape but have a definite volume is liquid state.

Hence, the correct answer is Option b
