An element in the physical state of __________ maintains neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.

75% Answer Correctly

gas

solid

plasma

liquid


Solution

The gaseous state occurs at a higher temperature range than the solid and liquid states of the same substance. In this state, molecules flow very freely around each other and will spread out as far as they're able. Gases maintain neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.

74% Answer Correctly

first

third

fourth
