Question

What phase of matter has enough kinetic energy to partially overcome the intermolecular attraction between the particles, allowing the particles to flow and take the shape and volume of whatever container the sample is in?

Gas
Liquid
Plasma
Solid

Answer 1

Liquid

Step-by-step explanation:

When it says partially overcome the intermolecular forces, its talking about how suface tension can hold it togather or it can flow and fill a container. This is why its not gas.

Answer 2

Liquid

Step-by-step explanation:

It is liquid because liquid will always take shape of the container. For example, take a square container and a round cup, and a 1/d of water, put it in the square container and it will take the shape of that container, but take the SAME water and put it in the cup and now its in a circle cause it is taking shape.
