The state of matter that has definite volume, but indefinite shape is the liquid state.
A solid constantly has the same shape and volume.
A wooden block (solid) will not change its shape or volume unless it is melted, but that would involve changing it from solid to liquid.
A liquid constantly has the same volume, but its shape changes.
Find a cylindrical container that has the same volume as a rectangular container. Fill the cylindrical container with water. Then, pour the water to the rectangular container. The shape of the water changed from cylindrical to rectangular and the volume remained the same, unless some water was dropped in the process.
A gas has changing shape and volume.
Find a small container full of a colored gas. Open in it inside a room. The gas will spread all over the room. Its volume changed from the volume of the container to the size of the room. Its shape has changed from the shape of the container to the shape of the room.
Matter with a fixed volume but not holding to any particular shape describes the liquid state of matter; being rather inelastic - unresponsive to pressure like a gas, but with bonds betwen molecules not fixed enough to hold the shape like a solid.
To be honest i am kinda guessing at this one, but i think i am correct...
A balloon filled with water... its shape can change but the volume of water inside would always be the same unless you broke it.
A sample of matter that has a definite volume but not a definite shape is a liquid. It's volume is fixed because the molecules attract each other enough that they all stay together, but it will assume the shape of the container that it is (i.e., no definite shape).
Liquids have a definite volume but not a definite shape. An example of a liquid is water, which has a definite volume, but its shape is indefinite.

A liquid has a definite volume (which can change with temperature), but takes the shape of its container.A Liquid is the state that has no definite shape, since the atoms can move around, it is therefore able to form itself to the shape of its container. However, since the atoms still have weak bonds to one another, it cannot fill up a closed container by stretching out the atoms. (The form of matter that does this is a gas.)* Liquids can be very slightly compressed, but not to the extent of gases.---There are 3 phases of matter. Solids, liquids and gases. Solids have a definite shape and a definite volume. Liquids do not have a definite shape but do have a definite volume. Gases do not have a definite shape as they can "flow", and they do not have a definite volume as they can fill a container by changing in pressure (density).LiquidLiquidA liquid has a definite volume but assumes the shape of any container which it is placed into.
Yes, it is true; sugar (sucrose) is a solid organic compound.
SOLIDS- 1.Definite shape 2.No fluidty 3.Definite volume 4.Maximum interparticle attraction forces LIQUIDS- 1.No definite shape 2.No definite volume 3.Fluid in nature Gas- 1. No definite shape 2.No definite volume 3.High fluidty 4.Lowest interparticle attraction
A solid is a phase of matter in which both the mass and volume of a substance are fixed for a given temperature, and which has maximum resistance to deformity and compression. In geometry, a solid is a contiguous form having three dimensions, a surface area, and a volume.
Both a liquid and a gas take the shape of their containers. The difference is that the liquid has a definite volume, and the gas simply diffuses to all portions of the container it is put in.
Liquid form
Yes it has neither.
The solid phase of matter has a definite volume and shape. Gas form has neither volume, nor shape, and liquid form has volume, but conforms to the shape of the container it is put in.
No, but it does have a definite volume.

Water does not have a definate shape or volume because it takes the shape of any container it is put into.
Gas
No state of matter corresponds to this. Solids are the only state with definite shape, but they have a definite volume too.
It is called a GAS. Gases have no definite volume (can be compressed) and no definite shape
liquidNO! Liquid has a definite volume (at a stable temperature) which is why hydraulic systems work. GASES have no definite volume and no definite shape - the take the form and volume of their container - and can be expanded or compressed.
