A form of matter that has its own shape and volume?
Solids are the type of matter with contain their own shape. Liquids take the shape of the container they are in and gasses fill their container, so therefore, solids are the type of matter which have a shape of their own.
Do liquids have a shape of its own?
Water, or liquids do not have a shape
Why are liquids and solids different?
A liquid will fit in any shape of a (larger) container, a solid does not, because of its own 'solid' shape.
What is the arrangement and movement of liquid?
Liquids are fluids so they flow, and they are able to move around and over each other. Liquids have a definite volume but no definite shape and they will find their own level within a container.
Why solids have any number of free surfaces while liquids have only one upper free surfaces?
It is a characteristic of liquids and gases to assume the shapes of their containers while solids maintain their own shapes.
Does solids have a volume shape and?
Yes. Solids have shapes and volume. Liquids take they're own shape and gas spreads.
Do solids liquids and gases have a definite volume?
Solids have a set volume. Liquids have a set volume. Gases do not have a set volume. Why? Solids are solids. They don't move. They're in a 'frozen state' as is. Liquids 'mold' to the shape of their container and they stay there. Gases are free to go anywhere. Always moving and 'flying.'
Why does a liquid have definite shape but not definite volume?
Liquids have more space between molecules than solids and therefore are able to take the shape of the area surrounding them and do not have a shape of their own.
What has no definite volume but no shape of its own?
Liquids.

Liquids.
Has a definite volume but no definite shape of its own?
Liquids.
Do solids have their own volume and shape?
Yes because of the atoms and molecules.
Liquids and gases are different from solids because they?
maintain their own shape and do not take the shape of their container.
Which states take the shape of their own?
Liquids and gasses assume the shape of their containers. Solids do not. There are also other states of matter.
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.
What are some characteristic of solids?
dense, tightly packed molecules, maintains own shape and volume
