What defines the shape and volume properties of a liquid?
What defines the shape and volume properties of a liquid?
- Molecules are loosely bound, forming a definite shape and volume
- Molecules are not bound to each other, having neither a definite shape nor volume
- Molecules are not bound with sufficient force to maintain a definite shape but maintain a definite volume (correct)
- Molecules are rigidly bound with definite shape and volume

Study Notes
Properties of Solids, Liquids, and Gases
- Solids have a definite shape and volume due to rigidly bound molecules.
- Liquids have a definite volume but not shape, and adapt to the shape of their container due to molecules bonded with sufficient force.
- Gases have neither a definite shape nor volume, and fill their containers completely due to molecules not being bound to each other.
Characteristics of Fluids
- Fluids include both liquids and gases.
- Fluids are able to flow.
- Fluids exhibit phenomena not found in solid matter due to their ability to flow.
- Fluids and solids are governed by the same laws of mechanics.
