Liquid water takes the _ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ _ _ of the container in which it is stored. The process in which a liquid changes into vapours (gaseous state) on heating is known as _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . Water is commonly called the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ solvent. If an object displaces _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ water than its own weight, it will sink. Freezing is the reverse of _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . III. True/False Questions
