Interpretation:
“Indefinite shape, definite volume” is the characterization that applies to which physical state has to be chosen from the given options.
Concept Introduction:
The study that is concerned with composition, transformation, and characteristics of matter is known as chemistry. Anything that occupied space and has mass is known as matter. Amount of matter present in the sample is termed as mass. Matter includes all the things that are naturally occurring things and synthetic materials. Forms of energy like heat, light are not considered to be matter.
Matter exists in three physical states and they are solid, liquid and gas. Physical state is based simple on shape and volume are definite or indefinite. Physical state that is characterized by definite shape and volume is known as solid. Physical state that is characterized by indefinite shape and definite volume is known as liquid. Physical state that is characterized by indefinite shape and indefinite volume is known as gas.

- Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution: What is the product of the reaction? *see imagearrow_forwardShow the correct sequence to connect the reagent to product. * see imagearrow_forwardThe answer here says that F and K have a singlet and a doublet. The singlet and doublet are referring to the H's 1 carbon away from the carbon attached to the OH. Why don't the H's two carbons away, the ones on the cyclohexane ring, cause more peaks on the signal?arrow_forward
- Draw the Birch Reduction for this aromatic compound and include electron withdrawing groups and electron donating groups. *See attachedarrow_forwardShow the correct sequence to connect the reagent to product. * see imagearrow_forwardBlocking Group are use to put 2 large sterically repulsive group ortho. Show the correct sequence toconnect the reagent to product with the highest yield possible. * see imagearrow_forward
- Elimination-Addition: What molecule was determined to be an intermediate based on a “trapping experiment”? *please solve and see imagearrow_forwardShow the correct sequence to connect the reagent to product. * see imagearrow_forwardPredict the final product. If 2 products are made, list which should be “major” and “minor”. **see attachedarrow_forward
