Which form of matter does not take the shape of its container?

• liquid
• gas
• solid
• air

How is a gas defined?

• Indefinite shape, indefinite volume
• Definite shape, definite volume
• Found in stars
• Definite volume, indefinite shape

Particles of a liquid

• are tightly packed together and stay in a fixed position.

• are free to move around one another but still touch.

The slower the particles in a substance move,

• the colder it is.

• the warmer it is.
