Question

To show what he learned about the properties of volume for solids, liquids and gases, Viktor wrote the following summary.

Answer 1

The wrong statement in Viktor's summary is When a round solid ball is placed in a box, the ball takes the shape of the box

The matter has three main states which are

• Solid
• Liquid
• Gas

These states define the way we interact and manipulate materials. For instance:

• Liquids take the shape of the container that contains them. For example water, milk, soda, among others.

• Solids have a defined shape and do not deform when manipulated or placed inside another container. For example, a round solid ball.

• Gases generally do not have colors and their atoms are not organized so they do not have a definite shape and take the shape of their container. For example, the air in a balloon.

According to the above, the error in Viktor's summary is in the first phase, and the correct statement is A. because solids does not take the shape of its container.
