Examine the incomplete statement. liquids have a _[blank]_ shape and _[blank]_ volume. which words best complete the statement? fixed; fixed variable; variable variable; fixed fixed; variable

Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In liquids, molecules are held by slightly less strong intermolecular forces of attraction as compared to solids.

Hence, molecules of a liquid are able to slide past each other as they have more kinetic energy than the molecules of a solid.

As a result, liquids are able to occupy the shape of container in which they are placed. Also, liquids have fixed volume but no fixed shape.

Thus, we can conclude that liquids have a variable shape and a fixed volume.

variable, fixed

Explanation:

plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food. plants use the raw materials of water, nutrients they absorb from soil, and carbon dioxide to make sugars the plant can use. energy from the sun and chlorophyll are also needed.
