As the intermolecular space between the molecules of the solid are tightly packed,the solids have a definite shapes and volume.Hence the answer.
Because the particles can't move the object can't move which give it the shape and volume
Because the particles can't move the object can't move which give it the shape and volume
The four states of matter are solid (ice), liquid (water), gas (oxygen), and plasma (lightning). Solids have a definite shape and volume, liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, gases have neither definite shape nor volume, and plasmas have neither definite shape nor volume and conduct electricity.
When matter has a definite shape and volume, it is in the solid state. In solids, particles are tightly packed together and vibrate in fixed positions. The arrangement and motion of the particles give solids their characteristic shape and volume.
In a solid, the particles are closely packed together in a regular structure by means of strong forces of attraction. They can only vibrate but cannot move freely. This is why a solid has a definite shape and volume.~ It has definite shape because.. Picture a solid, like a mug, on a table. Is it constantly changing shape? This means that the solid has definite shape. Unless, of course, a steamroller goes over it, but definite shape means with no extra forces. It has definite volume because.. If you think about it, the amount of space a solid takes up will always be the same, or definite. Even if say, a sponge, was crushed, the volume will be the same. Only the air inside the solid will change.
liquid
Liquids are formed when a substance's molecules have enough energy to move around and flow freely, but not enough to overcome the attractive forces that hold them close together, as in a solid. The arrangement and movement of molecules in liquids give them a definite volume but not a definite shape. Heating a solid or cooling a gas can cause them to change into a liquid state.
Yes. Anexample would be any solid object.
A liquid mixture is a liquid material with a definite volume and no definite shape. A liquid mixture takes on the shape of the container it is in. Mixtures have two or more substances. Ocean water and oil and water are liquid mixtures.
