Question

which state of matter has no definite shape but a definite volume? a liquid b gas c none of these d solid

Explanation:

To determine the state of matter with no definite shape but a definite volume, we analyze each option:

• Option A (Liquid): Liquids take the shape of their container (no definite shape) but have a fixed volume (definite volume) as their particles are close but can move past each other.
• Option B (Gas): Gases have neither definite shape nor definite volume, as their particles are far apart and move freely.
• Option C (None of these): Incorrect, as Option A fits the description.
• Option D (Solid): Solids have both definite shape and definite volume, with particles tightly packed in a fixed arrangement.

Answer:

A. Liquid
