correct. volume is a measurement of the amount of something. You can measure out 1L of water in a beaker, and then pour it into a boot &it's still 1L H2O. It doesn't even have to be in a container. You can pour it on the ground, & you'll have 'spilled' 1L H2O on the floor.

Do Liquids have a fixed but do not have a fixed?
No, liquids do not have a fixed volume - their volume is that of the container
What happens to the volume of a liquid when it is poured into a container with a different shape?
Liquids take on the shape of any container they are placed in. If the volume of the container is less than the total volume of the liquid, them the difference in quantity will overflow the top of the container.
Which of the following adopts the shape of a container solids liquids or gases?
Liquids adopt the shape of the part of the container that they occupy. Gases adopt the entire shape and volume of their container.
Does a solid substance has both a shape and volume of its own?
Yes. Liquids take the shape of a container but not the volume, and gases take the shape and volume of a container.
Compare solids liquids and gases in terms of their shapes and volumes.?
Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but no definite shape - they take the shape of their container. Gases have no definite volume and no definite shape - they expand to fill their entire container.
How are gasses and liquids similar in shape and volume?
ANSWER unlike solids, both liquids and gases can change their shape to fit the container in which they are held. however, gases can also change volume unlike liquids.
What properties do only gases have?
Gases change their volume according to the container that they are in. Liquids change shape but not volume, and solids change neither shape nor volume.
Can a liquids volume change no matter what type a containor its in?
No. The liquid's shape changes to fit the container it's in, but the volume doesn't change.
Do Liquids have a fixed but do not have a fixed?
No, liquids do not have a fixed volume - their volume is that of the container
Changes shape and volume to fit container?
-- Gases change their shape and volume to match the container they're in. -- Liquids change their shape but not their volume. -- Solids don't change anything. It doesn't matter if they're in a glass jar, a rubber balloon, or a paper bag. ===== A Gas
Do solids and liquids change in size when taking the shape of its container?
No liquids and solids do not change size the volume, mass,density, and weight stay the same they just change shape.
What happens to the volume of a liquid when it is poured into a container with a different shape?
Liquids take on the shape of any container they are placed in. If the volume of the container is less than the total volume of the liquid, them the difference in quantity will overflow the top of the container.
Do all Liquids have a fixed volume nd takes the shape of its container?
All liquids have a fixed volume and takes the shape of its Container.
What is a substance that has a fixed volume?
A liquid has a fixed volume but not a fixed shape. If you put it into a graduated cylinder, it will take the shape of the cylinder. If you put it into a bowl, it will take the shape of the bowl.
Why is definite volume a physical property in a liquid state?
Liquids are capable of changing shape, but they will always have a constant volume. If one were to pour a liquid into a random container, it would conform to the container, but not change physical volume in the process.
Liquids have definite volume and what?
and they take the shape of their container.
What has the same volume in any container?
Liquids take the shape of the container that they are in.
