janette, mhiel, and kayla were at a beach party. janette was inflating beach balls and mhiel noticed that the beach ball expanded but didnt maintain a definite shape or volume. she asked janette, what type of matter is inside the beach ball that causes this? plasma liquid solid gas
Gas has no definite shape or volume. When inflating a beach ball, the gas (air) inside expands to fill the space of the ball. As more gas is added (inflating), it causes the ball to expand. Solids have a definite shape and volume, liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, and plasma is a high - energy state not relevant here.
