which state of matter has a definite volume, but no definite shape
A
gas
B
solid
C
liquid
D
plasma
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -(b) Liquids have a definite volume but no definite shape.

Detailed explanation-2: -(b) Liquids have a definite volume but no definite shape.

Detailed explanation-3: -Liquids occupy definite volume but have no definite shape. This is because the inter-molecular force of attraction between the molecules in a liquid is less when compared to solids and the liquid molecules are loosely packed. In a liquid, the particles are in close contact and so they have a definite volume.

Detailed explanation-4: -This is because the intermolecular forces of attraction are strong enough to hold the molecules together but not so strong as to fix them into definite positions (as in solids). Instead, they possess fluidity and hence no definite shape.
