Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is Liquid.
Key Points
- Liquids take the shape of the container they are kept in, a property due to their fluidity.
- Unlike solids, liquids have no fixed shape but a fixed volume that doesn’t change with the shape of its container.
- This characteristic allows liquids to flow and conform to the contours of any container.
Additional Information
- Solid: Retains a fixed shape and volume, not taking the shape of its container. Solids have particles that are closely packed in a rigid structure.
- Gas: Has neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume. Gases expand to fill any container they are in, diffusing to fill the entire space available.
- None of these: This option is not applicable as it is clear that liquids are substances that take the shape of the container they are kept in.
