Question

give reasons for the following a table has fixed shape and size but water doesn't

Answer 1

because table is solid we know that solid has fixed shape ,size,volume by its properties whereas water is liquid which has neither fixed size nor shape...

Answer 2

Heya Friend,

We know that-

Solids have a fixed shape and volume, they have fixed shape as the molecules of solids are tightly packed due to strong forces of attraction and can't move from their place , they can just vibrate. So they have a fixed shape and size.

And Liquids don't have a fixed shape but fixed volume as the molecules of Liquid are loosely packed and can slide over each other and can move anywhere in the bulk and takes shape of vessel so it don't have a fixed shape and size.

And so the table being a solid has fixed shape and size and water being a Liquid don't have a fixed shape and size.

Hope it helps..!!
