Question : 88 of 150

Marks: +1, -0

A student says that substances such as flour and salt are "liquid' because they take the shape of the container in which they are put. What would be your response to the student's claim?

A material that is 'liquid' has no fixed shape, it takes the shape of the container it is poured into. So, salt and flour are liquids.
They are solids because even though a whole mass of tiny grains of flour or salt does not have a definite shape, each individual grain does.
Flour and salt are not liquids because they do not exhibit the wetting property but they are fluids because they 'flow'.
The definition of a 'solid' is incomplete as it does not accommodate substances such as flour and salt.
