Solids are substances which have a fixed volume and fixed shape. Liquids, on the other hand, have a fixed volume but no definite shape. Finally, gases don't have a definite volume or shape.

What is the difference between gases solids and liquids in terms of volume?

Gases have the greatest volume. Liquids are denser than gases. Most solids are slightly denser than liquids. One important exception is ice. Ice is solid water, but because of its crystal structure, ice is not as dense as liquid water.

Why do solids have a definite volumn and a definite shape?

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.

How do you find the density of a rectangular solid?

Since a liquid has no definite shape or form, it needs to be held in a container. Density = mass / volume So you need a container with graduated markings so that you can measure the volume of the liquid, also, you need the mass of the empty container. You will need to subtract the mass of the empty container from the total mass (liquid and container) to find the mass of the liquid.
