Yes. That is one of the properties that distinguishes it from liquids or gasses, both of which do not. ■
Yes, the characteristics of a solid is a definite shape and a definite volume when it is left alone.
Yes - a solid is defined by having a specific volume and a specific shape.
No. Because it's solid. And therefore can't move.
yes
A gas and a liquid will both take the shape of their container. However only a gas will take on the volume of its container as well.
Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter (with solid, liquid and plasma being the other states). It has the distinction of taking both the shape and the volume of the container that it is in. If you want to include plasma, that too will expand - acting like a gas. So will supercritical fluids which might be considered gases by some definitions, but not by others..
A liquid. A gas has no definite volume, as it's volume is whatever the volume of the container it is in happens to be. A solid, by it's nature of being solid, will not take on the shape of it's container.
Both a liquid and a gas take the shape of their containers. The difference is that the liquid has a definite volume, and the gas simply diffuses to all portions of the container it is put in.
Only liquid. Gas never has a definite volume. Both will always take the shape of their container though.A liquid
A substance that is not a solid or gas, takes the shape of its container, has definite volume, but no definite shape.
A gas and a liquid will both take the shape of their container. However only a gas will take on the volume of its container as well.
Matter that takes both the shape and volume of its container is a gas. A solid is characterized by having a definite shape and definite volume.
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.

It has the distinction of taking both the shape and the volume of the container that it is in. If you want to include plasma, that too will expand - acting like a gas.

A gas or a plasma takes on the entire size (volume) and shape of its container. A liquid takes the shape of its container but always has a definite size (volume) and may not completely fill its container.
All liquids have a fixed volume and takes the shape of its Container.
Never
A liquid has a definite volume but an indefinite shape. It takes the shape of its container.
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 liquid. it takes the shape of its container
