Question

question 1 (multiple choice worth 2 points) (01.02r mc) select the physical property that can be observed in solids and liquids but not in gases. color size texture temperature

Explanation:

• Color: Some gases are colored (e.g., chlorine gas is green - yellow), so this is incorrect.
• Size: Solids and liquids have a definite volume (and thus a size within a container), while gases expand to fill the container, so they don't have a definite size in the same sense as solids and liquids.
• Texture: This is a property related to the surface feel of a solid (e.g., rough, smooth). Liquids and gases do not have a texture in the same way.
• Temperature: All states of matter (solids, liquids, gases) can have a temperature.

Answer:

Size
