Question

Take some finely powdered salt (not crystals) and keep it in two different jars. •Which shape does the powdered salt take? •Can you say that salt is a liquid on the basis of change in its shape ? Justify your answer.

Answer 1

The powdered salt takes the shape of the container. No, we cannot say that salt is a liquid as the salt is made of finely powdered grains which fill up space.
