Complete the following statements to describe solids, liquids, and gases. select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. a solid a definite volume and a definite shape. a liquid a definite volume and a definite shape. a gas a definite volume and a definite shape

Answer : The correct option is,

A solid  : a definite volume and  a definite shape.

Explanation :

As we know that there are 3 states of matter :

Solid state : It is defined as a state in which the particles are closely packed and does not have any space between them. This state have a definite shape and volume.  For example : iron metal

Liquid state : It is defined as a state in which the particles are present in random and irregular pattern. The particles are closely arranged but they can move from one place to another. This state have a definite volume but does not have a fixed shape.  For example : water

Gaseous state : It is defined as a state in which the particles are loosely arranged and have a lot of space between them. This state have indefinite volume as well as shape.  For example : Any type of gas like, helium gas.

Hence, the correct answer is, a solid  has a definite volume and  a definite shape.

the answer is a and have a great day

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).
