∙ 13y agoYou are expected to answer this with "Liquid".
Let's widen the scope...
Gases also flow. Relatively solid glaciers will flow. Rubber experiences "cold flow" that you may have noticed around a hose clamp. Glass is fairly solid at room temperature but a glass window pane will sag over the centuries because it has no crystalline structure. You can even argue that rock in the asthenosphere, heated and subjected to pressure, achieves plasticity and, so, flows. Powdered solids flow but have no gross shape. Electricity flows but has no shape. Don't forget that, metaphorically, time flows like a river...it flies, too.

Does a solid have a definite or not definite shape?
A solid does have a definite shape and a definite volume.
Which state of matter has a definite size but no definite shape?
A liquid has a definite size but no definite shape. In contrast, a solid has definite size and shape, and a gas has no definite size or shape.
What state of matter is characterized by having a definite shape and a definite volume?
The state of matter is actually to states of matter. Solid and liquid are the states of matter that have a volume,(liquid) and shape(solid).
What state of matter has a definite shape but not a definite volume?
There is no such state of matter. Solid has a definite shape and volume, liquid has a definite volume but not a definite shape, gases have neither a definite shape nor a definite volume.
What has a definite shape and voulme?
what has a definite shape and volume
Why do a liquid have a definite volume but not definite shape?
Because they can flow into any shape,.
An object that has definite volume but indefinite shape is a?
Gas is an object that has no definite shape or volume. Solids and liquids have volume.
What description best describes a solid A. It has a definite shape and volume. B. It has a definite shape but not a definite volume. C. It adjusts to the shape of its container. D. It can flow.?
Answer this question by process of elimination. Let's use a brick as our example. Can it change it's volume? No. Can it adjust to fit the shape of it's container (which basically means 'can it flow')? No. Can it flow? No.
What is it called if a object has a definite volume but there is no shape?
liquid.
What property do liquids have that solids do not?
they flow freely and do not have a definite shape.
What property do liquids have that solids do not have?
they flow freely and do not have a definite shape.
What is the state of matter for an object that has both definite volume and definite shape?
Liquid is the state of matter that takes the shape of it's container and flows.
An object that has definite volume but indefinate shape is?
I believe the answer is liquid.
Is a rock a soild?
Yes. A rock has a definite shape and volume, and does not flow.
How does plasma not have a definite volume or shape?
It is somewhat like a gas, air, for example, which can flow to assume any shape.
Is it true that plasma has no definite shape and can flow?
Yes. In this sense, a plasma is similar to a gas.
What has definite volume and shape?
Solids have definite shape and definite volume. Liquids have not definite shape but have definite volume. Gases have neither definite shape not definite volume.
