Which of the following statement(s) is/are true? A: Compressibility: The property of matter due to which its shape does not change after applying external force. Solids show this property. B: Fluidity: It is a property of matter to flow easily and change shape under external force. This property is exhibited by both liquid and gas.

Which of the following statement(s) is/are true? A: Compressibility: The property of matter due to which its shape does not change after applying external force. Solids show this property. B: Fluidity: It is a property of matter to flow easily and change shape under external force. This property is exhibited by both liquid and gas. Correct Answer Only B is true.

The correct answer is Only B is true.

Key Points

  • Compressibility:
    • It is the property by which a substance or matter can be reduced to a smaller space by pressure. Hence, statement A is false.
  • Fluidity:
    • It is a property of matter to flow easily and change shape under external force.
    • This property is exhibited by both liquid and gas. Hence, statement B is true.
