Question
Which of the following statements about phases of matter is INCORRECT? Group of answer choicesPlasma consists of ionized gases and no definite volumeLiquid has low compressibility and definite shapeGas has low density and indefinite shapeSolid has definite shape and low compressibility
Solution
The incorrect statement is: "Liquid has low compressibility and definite shape." While it's true that liquids have low compressibility, they do not have a definite shape. Instead, they take the shape of the container they're in.
