Question

Which of the following statements are incorrect? a) The state of matter for an object that has a definite volume but not a definite shape is a liquid state b) The state of matter for an object that has both definite volume and definite shape is solid state c) The state of matter for an object that has a definite shape and is highly compressible is gaseous state d) The state of matter for an object that has no definite volume and takes the shape of its container is gaseous state e) The state of matter for an object that is rigid is solid state

Answer 1

Answer:

a), b), d), and e) are correct.

Explanation:

c) is incorrect because an object that has a definite shape cannot be in a gaseous state as gaseous objects take the shape of their container.

a) is correct because objects that are liquid have definite volumes but no definite shapes as they take the shape of their containers,

b) is correct as this is the definition of an object which is in a solid state.

d) is correct as this is the definition of an object which is in a gaseous state.

e) is correct as rigidness, the quality of having a definite shape is only exhibited by objects that are in solid state.
