Question
which best describes liquids?
a) liquids have a constant volume and definite shape.
b) liquids have a constant volume and take the shape of their container.
c) liquids have a definite volume and shape.
d) liquids fill the volume of their container and take the shape of their container.
Liquids have a definite (constant) volume as the intermolecular distance between liquid - phase molecules is relatively fixed. But the intermolecular forces are not strong enough to maintain a definite shape. So, liquids take the shape of their container.
