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.
Silicon, it's bring brother would be the prime candidate, although its compounds are notably different from those of carbon.
