    Question

    The state of matter that has no definite size or shape is

    1. Solid
    2. Liquid
    3. Gas
    4. Energy

    Hint:

    Gases fill up any empty space.

    The correct answer is: Gas

      • Shape and size depend on intermolecular forces of attraction.
      • In liquids intermolecular forces of attraction are intermediate and liquids take up the shape of the container in which it is kept.
      • In solids intermolecular forces of attraction are high and they have a rigid shape.
      • In gases intermolecular forces of attraction are negligible they do not have any definite shape or size.
