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.

∙ 9y agoThe 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.

∙ 9y agobeacause 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

Compare solids liquids and gases in terms of their shapes and volumes.?
Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but no definite shape - they take the shape of their container. Gases have no definite volume and no definite shape - they expand to fill their entire container.
Unlike solids and liquids a gas will?
Unlike solids and liquids, a gas will expand to fill the space available to it.
What is the volume of a shape?
Different solids have different shapes and volumes.Different solids have different shapes and volumes.Different solids have different shapes and volumes.Different solids have different shapes and volumes.
What haves definite shapes and definite volumes?
Solids have definite shapes and definite volume.
What state of matter has a definite shape but indefinite volume?
There is none a state of matter with such a property ;Solids have Definite Volumes and Definite Shapes ;Liquids have Definite Volumes but Indefinite Shapes ;Gases have Indefinite Volumes and Indefinite Shapes .
Does solids have a volume shape and?
Yes. Solids have shapes and volume. Liquids take they're own shape and gas spreads.
How can shape and volume classify materials?
- solids have a shape and a volume- liquids have a volume but not a shape- gases haven't shape or volume (in free form)

Does a liquid have definite shape or no definite shape?
Yes; Solids have definite volume and shapes. Gases have indefinite volume and shapes. Liquids have definite volume, indefinite shape.
What item has a fixed volume solids liquids or gases?
solids and liquids
How are solids liquids gases differnent from each other?
because solids have shapes To improve upon the above answer. Solids have a definite shape and size, whereas liquids and gasses do not. Liquids have definite volume, but do not have a definite shape, and gasses have no definite shape or volume.
What have definite shapes and definite volume?
Solids have definite shapes and definite volume.
How are measurements of volume for solids and liquids alike?
Which of the following has a fixed volume?
solids and liquids

What do solids liquids and gases have that are different?
Structure. Solids have definite shape and definite volume. Liquids have definite volume but indefinite shape. Gases have both indefinite shape and indefinite volume.
