Usually, yes. Most of the time the solid form is denser and therefore occupies a smaller volume than the liquid, but for a few substances the reverse is true.

Yes - but not by near the amount that a gas can. The fact that liquids CAN change volume is demonstrated by the liquid thermometer which works BECAUSE the liquid DOES change volume.

By cooling the liquid.


Does a liquid have a definate volume?

Yes, liquid has a definite volume. It may change shape with different containers, but you always have the same volume of the liquid.

the answer is liquid... as my science teacher says.


What does it mean when a liquid has a definite volume but no definite shape?

A liquid can move, so it can change its shape. But since it is not a gas, it can't change its volume.


What are examples of A change in volume in chemistry?

When a liquid is turned into a gas maybe by heating the volume of that liquid has been increased.


What is the change in volume from gaseous air to liquid air?

A change in volume is a change in volume - there is no difference. The question, as asked, is therefore meaningless. However if you try to compress air, its volume will decrease (because the gaseous state of matter is compressible). On the other and if you try and compress a liquid the volume will not change as the liquid state of matter is incompressible (that is why/how hydraulic machines work).
