Question

question 5. complete the table below.

physical state	definite shape?	definite volume?	easily compressed?
			no
	yes
:: liquid	:: solid	:: yes	:: no

Explanation:

Step1: Recall gas properties

Gases have no definite shape as they take the shape of their container. They also have no definite volume as they expand to fill the available space. Gases are easily compressed.

Step2: Recall liquid properties

Liquids have no definite shape (take the shape of the part of the container they occupy) but have a definite volume. They are not easily compressed.

Step3: Recall solid properties

Solids have a definite shape and a definite volume. They are not easily compressed.

Answer:

Physical State	Definite Shape?	Definite Volume?	Easily Compressed?
Liquid	No	Yes	No
Solid	Yes	Yes	No
