Which of the following properties do solids share with liquids?
A
Compressibility
B
No definite shape
C
Ability to flow
D
Definite volume
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the physical properties of solids and liquids. Solids have a definite shape and volume, while liquids have a definite volume but no definite shape.
Analyze the property 'Compressibility': Both solids and liquids are generally incompressible compared to gases, but solids are usually less compressible than liquids.
Consider 'No definite shape': Solids have a definite shape, whereas liquids do not. Therefore, this property is not shared.
Evaluate 'Ability to flow': Liquids can flow because their particles can move past each other, but solids cannot flow as their particles are fixed in place.
Identify the shared property: Both solids and liquids have a definite volume, meaning they occupy a fixed amount of space regardless of container shape.
