Solids retain their shape. It is liquids, gasses, and plasmas that take the shape of their containers.
Never
It takes the shape of its container, like a liquid. It is not a solid because it takes the shape of its container, unlike a solid. Not a gas because you can see it
No its a liquid because it takes the shape of it's container
liquid,gas,and solid
A liquid takes the shape of any solid that it is contained within. For example water within a square container will appear square, but water within a triangular container will appear triangular.
Solid cannot shape of a container but if you look at something like sand it is still a solid though it behaves like a liquid.
A substance that is not a solid or gas, takes the shape of its container, has definite volume, but no definite shape.
It's because an icecube is a solid. Unless if it's melted, it will stay as a solid (cube shape)
the state of mater that has a definite shape is solid. solid always have a definite shape. on the other hand liquids and gases do not have a definite shape. they take the shape of their container.
A gas is a state of matter that takes the shape of its container. Gas particles are free to move around and fill the space available to them, allowing the gas to expand or be compressed to fit the container's shape.
A gas takes the shape of its container because the particles are far apart and move freely. Liquids also take the shape of the container but have a fixed volume due to closer particle arrangement. Solids have both fixed shape and volume because their particles are tightly packed.
at room temperature, water is considered a liquid because it has a definite volume (it does not expand to fill its container like a gas) but not a definite shape (it takes the shape of its container, as opposed to a solid which keeps its shape regardless of the container it is in).
