Which state of matter has neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume and expands to fill the container completely?
easy Q2 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Recall properties of gases
Gases have particles far apart and move freely, so they have no fixed shape or volume.Step 2: Eliminate other states
Solids and liquids have fixed volume; Bose-Einstein condensate is a special state at near absolute zero, rarely asked.Final Answer:
Gas → Option BQuick Check:
Gas = no fixed shape or volume, fills container ✅
Quick Trick: Gas expands to fill any container completely.
Common Mistakes:
- Mistaking liquids for gases due to fluidity but liquids have fixed volume.
