liquid take shape of the container because the liquid particles stay together but they still more around. solid does not take the shape of the container, because solid is solid. The molecules cannot form the of the container because the molecules a very near each other.Only liquid can take the shape of the container.
Thank you.
What else can I help you with?
Why do liquids always need to be kept in a container?
They can't hold their shape on their own, so without a container they will flow all over the place.
Could you help us do an experiment When freezing water does the shape of the container have any effect on the rate at which the water freezes?
The shape of the container can affect the rate at which water freezes. A container with a larger surface area will transfer heat more quickly, causing the water to freeze faster. Additionally, the shape can influence how easily heat can be conducted away from the water, impacting the freezing rate.
Do liquid have a fixed temperature but no fixed shape?
A liquid (water) takes on the temperature you give it. You need to boil the water if you want to brew a cup of tea. Having brewed your cup of tea, it will take on the shape of the cup you use. Therefore, gas and liquids take on the shape of the container.
How much water can 10 cm length hold?
The amount of water a 10 cm length can hold depends on the dimensions of the container it is in. If it is a symmetric shape like a cylinder or rectangular prism, you would need to provide the width and height of the container in addition to the length to calculate the volume and hence the amount of water it can hold.
How many fluid ounces is in a cylindrical container?
The volume of a cylindrical container is dependent on the container's dimensions. Here is the formula for Volume of a cylinder. Volume = π * R2 * H Where r Is the radius of the circular end of the container, and H is the height of the container.
What does not need a container to keep their shape?
a solid
What state of matter keeps its shape?
Of the three states of matter...solid, liquid, or gas...only a solid wouldn't need a container.
Why solid do not need container to contain them?
Solids have a fixed shape and volume, so they can maintain their shape without the need for a container. The particles in a solid are closely packed and have strong intermolecular forces holding them together, allowing them to maintain their form without external support.
What are the 3 properties of liquids?
liquids freeze and boil.liquids:Do not keep their shape, they take the shape of the container they are inFlowCannot be compressed (keep the same volume)Liquids are used where we need something to flow e.g. for making a drink, or when we need something to take up the shape of a container such as a mould. A good example of this is making a jelly. The jelly (solid) has to be turned into a liquid (in this case by dissolving) so that it takes up the shape of the mould. It is then left to set (i.e. go solid again) so that it keeps its shape when removed from the mould.
What are the properties of liquids?
Liquids have definite volume but not definite shape, meaning they take the shape of their container. They have close particle arrangement and can flow easily. Liquids have higher density compared to gases and lower density compared to solids.
Why does liquid need a container?
in order to keep from spilling everywhere because liquid can't sustain a form without a solid around it or being frozen into a solid
How do you find the density of a rectangular solid?
Since a liquid has no definite shape or form, it needs to be held in a container. Density = mass / volume So you need a container with graduated markings so that you can measure the volume of the liquid, also, you need the mass of the empty container. You will need to subtract the mass of the empty container from the total mass (liquid and container) to find the mass of the liquid.
Why does liquid water take the shape of the cup but solid ice cubes do not?
An ice cube is a solid. This means that its molecules hold tightly together and it retains its shape.Water is a liquid. This means that its molecules are loosely bonded together, and gravity can pull them down. When it does, the molecules will spread out to fill the shape of the container they are in.
Which state of matter maintains a fixed volume and shape?
A solid has a definite shape and volume. (but the volume may change with temperature)A liquid has a definite volume but not a definite shape, and a gas has no definite volume or shape.
Which state of matter will fill a container completely?
All four states of matter could fill a container completely if there was enough of them.That said the properties of the 3 states of matter (that you need to know about for high/secondary school) are:Solid - Fixed shape and fixed volume.Liquid - No fixed shape but fixed volume.Gas - No fixed shape, no fixed volume and fill the space available.A large enough volume of liquid or solid could fill a container completely but only the smallest amount of a gas will fill the whole container.
Why do liquids always need to be kept in a container?
They can't hold their shape on their own, so without a container they will flow all over the place.
How to get the volume of an irregularly shape or solid?
Measure the volume of the water you have. Insert irregular solid. Measure the volume of the water you have now, and subtract the initial water volume from the new water volume. The difference in volumes is the volume of your irregular solid.
