Water placed in a bottle occupies the space within the confines of the bottle. Even if the water was poured out onto the table, it still takes up space as it drips off the table and onto the carpet below.

Solids and liquids are made of molecules, which are made of atoms, which are made of electrons and nuclei. Because of the large space between nuclei compared to their size, and because electrons are thought of as much smaller than nuclei because electrons are very much lighter, most people and most textbooks say that solids and liquids are mostly empty space. However, this is not correct, because the electrons are 'spread out' in a quantum mechanical way and fill up the space in solids and liquids between the nuclei.

Does a liquid take up all the space of the area that it is in?

Yes. This is the liquid's 'volume'. The density of a liquid is another subject: Density= Mass/Volume But this is unrelated to the space the liquid occupies.

How do you explain when a state of matter is said to have definite volume?

A liquid or solid will not take up a larger space than the space it occupies; even if more space is freely available.On the other hand, both a liquid and a solid are incompressible, for most practical purposes; that is, you can't compress it to use less space than the space it uses, either.A liquid or solid will not take up a larger space than the space it occupies; even if more space is freely available.On the other hand, both a liquid and a solid are incompressible, for most practical purposes; that is, you can't compress it to use less space than the space it uses, either.A liquid or solid will not take up a larger space than the space it occupies; even if more space is freely available.On the other hand, both a liquid and a solid are incompressible, for most practical purposes; that is, you can't compress it to use less space than the space it uses, either.A liquid or solid will not take up a larger space than the space it occupies; even if more space is freely available.On the other hand, both a liquid and a solid are incompressible, for most practical purposes; that is, you can't compress it to use less space than the space it uses, either.


Do fluids take up space and why?

Liquids and gases are fluids. They both take up space, I know because if you put a liquid in a picture it will takes it's shape and space.


Is volume only for liquid?

No, actually. Volume is how much three-dimensional space that a solid, liquid, gas, plasma, or even a shape occupies.
