Choose the correct answer.

Which of the following state of matter takes the shape of the container holding it?
A. Solid
B. Liquid
C. Gas
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.
