AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to identify the substances P, Q, R, and S based on the descriptions provided: 1. **P: Has definite shape and volume** - This characteristic is typical of solids. Solids have a fixed shape and a fixed volume. - **Conclusion**: P is a solid. 2. **Q: Undergoes sublimation** - Sublimation is the process where a solid changes directly into a gas without passing through the liquid state. A common example of a substance that undergoes sublimation is naphthalene (found in mothballs). - **Conclusion**: Q is naphthalene. 3. **R: Has definite volume but no definite shape** - This characteristic is typical of liquids. Liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container. - **Conclusion**: R is a liquid, such as milk or honey. 4. **S: Does not have definite shape and definite volume** - This characteristic is typical of gases. Gases do not have a fixed shape or volume; they expand to fill their container. - **Conclusion**: S is air (gas). Now, summarizing our findings: - P is a solid (e.g., brick). - Q is naphthalene (which undergoes sublimation). - R is a liquid (e.g., milk). - S is air (gas). **Final Identification:** - P: Solid (e.g., brick) - Q: Naphthalene (undergoes sublimation) - R: Liquid (e.g., milk) - S: Air (gas)
