Liquids and solids are both considered condensed phases of matter because their particles are packed closely together. They both have a definite volume and maintain their shape, with solids having a fixed shape whereas liquids take the shape of their container.

How are liquid mass and liquid volume alike?

Liquids, like solids have a definite volume. While liquids don't have a definite shape, they can take the shape of a container which can be measured the same way as with solids.

In what way are liquids and gases alike?

Liquids and gases are both considered fluids because they can flow and take the shape of their container. They both have the ability to move and are not held in a fixed shape like solids. Additionally, both liquids and gases can expand and contract based on changes in temperature and pressure.

How are measurements of volume for solids and liquids alike?

Measurements of volume for both solids and liquids involve determining the amount of space that the substance occupies. This is typically done using measuring tools such as a graduated cylinder for liquids and a ruler or geometric formulas for solids. The volume of a solid or liquid is usually expressed in cubic units such as cubic centimeters or milliliters.

How are particles in solids liquids and gases alike?

Particles in solids, liquids, and gases are alike in that they are all made up of atoms or molecules. However, the main difference lies in how closely these particles are packed together. In solids, particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place, in liquids the particles are close but can move around, and in gases, particles are spread far apart and move freely.
