Liquid gets the shape of the container when it is poured into it. Which one of the following reasons justifies it ?
Correct answer: D. Liquid molecules can slide over each other
- A. Liquid do not have definite shape
- B. Liquid do not have definite volume
- C. Lieuid is highly compressible
- D. Liquid molecules can slide over each other
Explanation
Liquid particles are held together but can move and slide past one another, allowing the liquid to flow and take the container's shape. Students may choose option a because liquids have no definite shape, but option d explains the molecular reason for this property.

About Properties of Liquids
Liquid behavior depends on intermolecular forces, which produce surface tension, viscosity, capillary action and a definite volume without a fixed shape. The topic also covers vapor pressure, evaporation, boiling point and the effect of temperature and external pressure, while distinguishing evaporation at the surface from boiling throughout the liquid.
