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.

∙ 13y agoYes liquid's take up space, however they don't have a definite shape in space. The volume of a liquid is how much space it's mass fills.

What is volume of liquid?
Volume is the amount of space the liquid takes up.
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 liquid take up a different amount of space when it is put in to a different container?
Of course not ! If that happened, then measuring cups and gas pumps would not work.
Does a liquid take up a different amount of space than gas in a container?
Gas will always fill any container that it is in, since it will expand to fill any available space. Liquid does not expand, it has a fixed volume, therefore depending upon how much liquid you pour into your container, the container may or may not be filled.
When heat is added to a liquid what happens?
It turns into a gas.
Why does steam take up more space than liquid water?
why does steam take up more space than liquid water
Does liquid take up space?
Yes all materials occupy space. Any liquid is no different and also does.
Why steam takes up more space than liquid water?
why does steam take up more space than liquid water
When you place an object in liquid why does the level of the liquid go up?
The level of the liquid goes up because the object and the liquid can't take up the same space so the liquid flows up around it so they can both have space.
Does a liquid take up all the space of the area that it is in?
Yes. This is the liquid's 'volume'. The density of a liquid is another subject: Density= Mass/Volume But this is unrelated to the space the liquid occupies.
What does a solid a gas and a liquid have in common?
they all take up space
Why is volume the measurement of gas and liquid?
electricity ,they both take up space
Does liquid or gas have a definite volume?
no they could only take up space
Do solids take up space?
A solid does take up space. Although it doesn't take up as much mass if it were to be a liquid or a gas.For example ice doesn't take up as much space as water or water vapor 123456789
How do you explain when a state of matter is said to have definite volume?
A liquid or solid will not take up a larger space than the space it occupies; even if more space is freely available.On the other hand, both a liquid and a solid are incompressible, for most practical purposes; that is, you can't compress it to use less space than the space it uses, either.A liquid or solid will not take up a larger space than the space it occupies; even if more space is freely available.On the other hand, both a liquid and a solid are incompressible, for most practical purposes; that is, you can't compress it to use less space than the space it uses, either.A liquid or solid will not take up a larger space than the space it occupies; even if more space is freely available.On the other hand, both a liquid and a solid are incompressible, for most practical purposes; that is, you can't compress it to use less space than the space it uses, either.A liquid or solid will not take up a larger space than the space it occupies; even if more space is freely available.On the other hand, both a liquid and a solid are incompressible, for most practical purposes; that is, you can't compress it to use less space than the space it uses, either.
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.
Is matter a solid or liquid?
solid and liquid because gas doesn't take up space it just floats away
