What is a form of matter that takes up a definite amount of space?
A solids and liquids have a definite volume, thus take up a definite amount of space. Gasses and plasma have no definite volume.
Takes the shape of the container but not the size?
Gases do not have a definite volume, which means that they can be expanded and compressed, depending on the pressure the gas is under. Gases also do not have a definite shape, so they take the shape of whatever container they are in. Unlike gases, liquids do have a definite volume because they are not easily compressed. However, like gases, liquids take the shape of their container, too. Solids have definite volume and definite shape.
Have a definite shape and do not easily take the shape of there container?
gases
State in which matter has definite shape volume?
Solids. Liquids and gases take the shape of the container they're in and the volume of gases changes with pressure and temperature.
Does liquid or gas have a definite volume?
no they could only take up space
Does gases take up a definite amount of space?
No. Any amount of gas, no matter how little, always takes up as much space as you let it.
What states take up a definite amount of space?
Solids and liquids take up a definite amount of space, where as a gas will fill its container.
Do liquids take a definite amount of space but do not have a definite shape?
Yes. To clarify: Solids : Take up a definite space and have defined shape Liquids : Take up a definite space but have no defined shape Gas : Have no defined space or shape.

Do solids take a definite amount of space?
Yes
Do solids take up definite amount of space?
It is true.
What does not have a definite shape and does not take up a definite amount of space?
Matter that has no definite shape or volume is a gas.
Does a solid take up a definite amount of space?
Yes. A solid has a definite shape and volume. A liquid has a definite volume, but an indefinite shape. A gas has neither a definite shape or volume.
Do solids take up a definite amount of space?
Yes. And volume
Does a liquid take up space?
Yes. To clarify: Solids : Take up a definite space and have defined shape Liquids : Take up a definite space but have no defined shape Gas : Have no defined space or shape.
Does liquid takes up a definite amount of space?
Yes, a liquid does take up a definite amount of space, which is to say that it has a definite volume. A liquid takes the shape of its container but does not expand to fill it completely like a gas would.
Solids have a definite?
I think it's because the particles are packed together tightly, wheres in liquids they can move around a bit more and in gases they can move around absolutely freely. That's why gases take up all the room in an area and also explains why they can be compressed
