Question 6 • GA-GSE Physical Science A

Which statement describes all solids?

Answer
A
They contain loosely packed atoms.
B
They have a definite shape and volume.
C
They have a smooth, rigid surface.
D
They flow with resistance.

Explanation

Solids keep both a definite shape and a definite volume because their particles stay closely packed in fixed positions. They may have rough or uneven surfaces, so a smooth surface is not a property of all solids. “Flow with resistance” describes fluids such as viscous liquids.
