Which of the following state of matter takes the shape of the container holding it?
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Taking the shape of the container holding it is a property of a liquid. The shape of the liquid is determined by the shape of the container. The molecules move easily in a liquid, which allows this to occur.
On the other hand, a solid cannot be poured and will retain its shape unless it is cut or broken. The molecules are very close together and there is no movement.
A gas can fill up any empty container and can be compressed because the molecules move much more freely. Gases do not necessarily have a shape when they are together.
