Question

Which among the following statements is FALSE? A solid has a definite shape and a definite volume. A liquid has a definite volume; but it has no definite shape. A gas has neither definite volume nor definite shape. Both solids and liquids are incompressible while gases are compressible. none of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

None of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

• A solid has a definite shape and a definite volume: True

The molecules of solid are tightly packed.  Although the molecules can still vibrate, they cannot move from one part of the solid to another part

• A liquid has a definite volume; but it has no definite shape: True

It takes the shape of the vessel in which it is kept.

• A gas has neither definite volume nor definite shape: True

The molecules in a gas are very far apart compared with the molecules in a solid or a liquid

• Both solids and liquids are in compressible while gases are compressible: True

Solids and liquids have very little free space between particles. So they are incompressible. Gases have large intermolecular spaces in between the particles. So, they easily change their shape in presence of external pressure and are compressible.

Thus the correct option is none of the above.

Answer 2
