  • A
    Solid
  • B
    Liquid
  • C
    Gas
  • D
    All of the above

Answer

  1. Liquid

Explanation:

If the particles of a substance have enough energy to partially overcome inter-molecular interactions, then the particles can move about each other while remaining in contact.

This describes the liquid state. In a liquid, the particles are still in close contact, so liquids have a definite volume.

However, because the particles can move about each other rather freely, a liquid has no definite shape and takes a shape dictated by its container.
