which statement gives two characteristics of all liquids?\n○ they spread out to fill space and have atoms that vibrate in place.\n○ they have atoms that vibrate in place and have a definite shape.\n○ they will change shape to fit a container and have definite volume.\n○ they have definite volume and have atoms that move freely in all directions.
Answer
Brief Explanations:
To solve this, we recall the properties of liquids. Liquids have a definite volume (they don't compress much) and take the shape of their container (they change shape to fit the container). Let's analyze each option:
- Option 1: "Spread out to fill space" is a gas property, and "atoms vibrate in place" is a solid property. Eliminate.
- Option 2: "Atoms vibrate in place" (solid) and "definite shape" (solid). Eliminate.
- Option 3: "Change shape to fit a container" (liquid) and "definite volume" (liquid). This matches.
- Option 4: "Atoms move freely in all directions" is a gas property. Eliminate.
