Question

6 why dont solids take the shape of their container? a they have a fixed volume b their molecules are arranged in a rigid structure c they undergo a chemical change d pressure prevents the

Explanation:

The reason solids don't take the shape of their container is due to the rigid arrangement of their molecules. In solids, molecules are closely packed and have strong intermolecular forces holding them in fixed positions, giving solids a definite shape. Having a fixed volume (A) doesn't explain why they don't change shape. Solids don't change shape because of a chemical change (C) in normal circumstances. Pressure (D) isn't the main factor preventing solids from taking the container's shape.

Answer:

B. Their molecules are arranged in a rigid structure
