definite volume, fixed shape, and no molecular motion
B.
definite volume, variable shape, and least molecular motion

Respuesta :

Hello I am absolutely positve the answer is D. Mark brainliest :)

Answer: The correct answer is Option D.

Explanation:

Liquid state is the second state of matter. In this state, the particles are present in random and irregular pattern. The particles are closely arranged but they can move from one place to another. The intermolecular forces between the particles are less as compared to the solid state.

The liquids have a definite volume but does not have a fixed shape as they can take up the shape of container in which they are kept.

The particles have spaces in between them, thus they have high molecular motion.

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.
