How are shapes and volume used to classify solids liquids and gases?

Answer 1

A solid has a definite shape and volume that can be directly measured. A liquid does not have a definite shape, but it does have a measurable volume. A gas has neither a definite volume or shape and will completely fill the container it is in.

Answer 2

Usually, it is done in liters or cubic centimeters...a liter, somewhat bigger than a quart measure, is 1000 cubic centimeters. So, a cube of water containing exactly a liter, would be 10 centimeters (about 4 inches) on a side.

Answer 3

Gases do not have a shape. Liquids will have a shape depending on the container that they are in. A solids shape will depend on the shape that is formed when it is gathered in one spot. The volume of solids, liquids, and gases will depend on how much of one kind is put in one spot.

Answer 4

The particles in an ice cube vibrate in place compared to the particles in liquids and gases. They have the least kinetic energy.

The particles in the ocean water move around. They have more kinetic energy than the particles in a solid but less than those in a gas or liquid.

The particles in steam move around rapidly compared to the particles in solids and liquids. They have the most kinetic energy.

If you pour a liquid in a container or a cup, the liquid takes the shape of the container or cup, and the particles in the liquid ( which is in the container ) only move a little bit, the particles in the liquid is not gas ( which moves everywhere ) even when liquids change shape, they dont change volume. A gas if you put helium in a balloon the particles doesnt really take the shape it makes the shape and the particles of the gas in the cylinder (Helium tank ) are much closer together than the particles of the gas in the balloons. Then a solid, differing arrangements of particles in crystalline solids and amorphous solids lead to different properties. the particles in an amorphous solid do not have an orderly arrangement. the particles in a crystalline solid have a very orderly arrangement.

Answer 6

beacause the solid has definate shape and volume a liquid has no definate shape a gas like liquid has no definate shape Volume is measured in cubic centimeter milliter (ml) Mass is directly related to the number and types of atoms present in the object

Answer 7

Shapes and volume are used to classify states of matter based on the arrangement of particles. Solids have a fixed shape and volume because particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place. Liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container as particles can move past each other. Gases have no fixed shape or volume, as particles are far apart and move freely.

Answer 8

A gas doesn't have a definite volume OR definite shape
