What form of matter has no definite size or shape?
It is called a GAS. Gases have no definite volume (can be compressed) and no definite shape
Takes the shape of the container but not the size?
Gases do not have a definite volume, which means that they can be expanded and compressed, depending on the pressure the gas is under. Gases also do not have a definite shape, so they take the shape of whatever container they are in. Unlike gases, liquids do have a definite volume because they are not easily compressed. However, like gases, liquids take the shape of their container, too. Solids have definite volume and definite shape.
Which of the three states does not have a definite volume or definite shape?
The answer you're looking for is likely gas. However, liquids CAN be compressed so their volume is not quite as definite as it would seem.
Is gas and liquid's compersabile?
Only gases are compressible, for they have an indefinite shape and volume. Liquids, however, cannot be compressed, for they have an indefinite shape, but a definite volume.
State of matter having no definite shape?
Gases have no defined shape or volume. The easiest way to show this is that gas' can be compressed(squished down) into small spaces, and when they are released from the container they spread out (diffuse) as much as possible. Think of spraying a can of deoderant, the gas is compressed in the can and when you release it the gas will go everywhere...this also shows that the gas has no definite shape, it will take the shape of the container that its in. Going back to the earlier example, gas will take the shape of the deoderant can that's its in, but when released it will change and go everyhwere, giving it no definite shape.
How many states of matter can be compressed?
One. It is gas as gas does not have a definite shape or volume thus it can be compressed. Liquids do not have a definite shape but it has a definite volume, making it unable to compress. Solids have both a definite shape and volume thus it also cannot be compressed.
What does solid?
definite shape,definite volume,cannot be compressed.
What are the steps you need to do to find out the states of matter?
Solid - cannot be compressed have definite shape and volume Liquid- cannot be compressed have definite volume but no definite shape Gas- no definite shape and volume can be compressed Note: check all above! Done by : Justin Bieber

State which has a definite shape of volume?
that's solid state. a solid has got the following characteristics : definite shape, definite volume, and cannot be compressed
Does liquids have definite volume and shape?
They have a definite volume, as they cannot be compressed. However they do not have a definite shape, they will take the shape of whatever they are stored in.
Which of the following is not a physical property of a liquid indefinite volume indefinite shape not easily compressed definite mass?
not easily compressed definite mass i think
Takes the shape of the container but not the size?
Gases do not have a definite volume, which means that they can be expanded and compressed, depending on the pressure the gas is under. Gases also do not have a definite shape, so they take the shape of whatever container they are in. Unlike gases, liquids do have a definite volume because they are not easily compressed. However, like gases, liquids take the shape of their container, too. Solids have definite volume and definite shape.
Is ice a liquid state?
Ice is a solid.It has a definite volume, definite shape, and cannot be compressed, which are properties of solids.
What state or matter that has no definite volume and no definite shape is?
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.
Why can you squash gases?
In solids and liquids the molecules are already very close together so they can't be squeezed together much more than that. In a gas molecules are very spread out so they can be compressed .
Which of the three states does not have a definite volume or definite shape?
The answer you're looking for is likely gas. However, liquids CAN be compressed so their volume is not quite as definite as it would seem.
