What else can I help you with?
Does clean air take the shape of its container?
Clean air will fill the container it is placed in, but it does not take on the shape of the container like a liquid would. Air will evenly distribute itself within the container based on pressure and temperature.
When sand is placed in a container why doesn't it take on the shape of the container?
Sand particles do not stick together or mold to the shape of the container like a liquid would due to their irregular shapes. The particles instead stack on top of each other, forming a pile with a rough surface. This allows the sand to retain its granular structure rather than conforming to the container's shape.
Does the density of a liquid change with the shape of a container?
No. the density is a characteristic of the liquid itself and not dependant on the container holding the liquid. Think of it this way: would the boiling point of a liquid change with the shape of a container? Another thought: think of a very rich, dense chocolate cake, as opposed to a very light angel food cake. You can have a very thin slice of the chocolate cake, or a ridiculously decadent slab. both pieces have the same quality of denseness, even if one is much more fun to eat.
Does a liquid take up a different amount of space when it is put in to a different container?
No, the volume of a liquid remains constant regardless of the container it is placed in. However, the shape of the liquid may change to fit the shape of the container, giving the illusion of occupying a different space.
Is a solid like a container?
Yes. More specifically, hail is a solid form of precipitation and is generally either balls or irregular lumps of ice.
Is shape definite or indefinite?
As plasma conforms to whatever container in which it is kept, it would be an indefinite shape.
Which of the 3 states would be most affected by volume of its container?
The gas state. A gas takes up the volume of the container in which it is placed.
What has the same volume in any container?
Liquids take the shape of the container that they are in.
Which state of matter will fill a container completely?
All four states of matter could fill a container completely if there was enough of them.That said the properties of the 3 states of matter (that you need to know about for high/secondary school) are:Solid - Fixed shape and fixed volume.Liquid - No fixed shape but fixed volume.Gas - No fixed shape, no fixed volume and fill the space available.A large enough volume of liquid or solid could fill a container completely but only the smallest amount of a gas will fill the whole container.
Gases and liquids don't have a shape?
It would be more precise to say that they have no fixed shape; they do have shapes in the sense that they take on the shape of whatever container they are in.
What takes shape of a container and has no definite volume?
A gas takes the shape of its container and has no definite volume, as it expands to fill the available space.
What material would be ideal to make a planting container that will decompose once placed in the ground and not be harmful?
cardboard
