(c) Gas​

Answer 1

Question Given:

This state does not have a fixed shape and a fixed volume.

• a) Solid
• b) Liquid
• c) Gas

Answer : c) gas

How?

→ As gas can be filled everywhere on a given container. So, it doesn't have a proper shape and a fixed volume. Hence, gas is the correct answer.

Let's see the other options too:

a) solid : It has a definite volume and shape however you want to change the shape or size.

b) liquid : It has a shape of the container where it is in but doesn't change the volume.

So, done!

Answer 2

Answer: c) Gas

Explanation: The molecules of gas are very loosely packed, so the intermolecular attraction is also low. This allows gases to be compressed, while liquids and solids cannot, so gases do not have a fixed volume or shape.
