Mostly they expand as they warm, contract as they cool.
Solids are, well, solid, and have a definite shape. Liquids do not have a definite shape (but do have a definite volume), and neither do gasses (but they don't have a definite volume).
No, nothing can have a negative volume. No such thing.
Solids, in general (water is an exception),contain a higher concentration of thermal energy per unit volume than liquids ...and both solids and liquids contain a higher concentration that gasses.
defined volume.
Solids and liquids both have definite volumes. Gasses, however, do not have a definite volume.
because solids have shapes To improve upon the above answer. Solids have a definite shape and size, whereas liquids and gasses do not. Liquids have definite volume, but do not have a definite shape, and gasses have no definite shape or volume.
ANSWER unlike solids, both liquids and gases can change their shape to fit the container in which they are held. however, gases can also change volume unlike liquids.
they all contract.
solids and liquids
Solids are less changed in volume by pressure than fluids (liquids or gasses or plasmas) because the atoms or molecules in solids are more closely bound by the chemical bonds that form them. JCF
Yes, liquids have a definite volume but not a definite shape, compared to solids that have a definite shape and a definite volume or gasses that have neither a definite shape or volume.
A change in volume with a constant, unchanging Pressure and Temperature results in increased or decreased density, inversely dependent on increase or decrease in volume.
A solids and liquids have a definite volume, thus take up a definite amount of space. Gasses and plasma have no definite volume.

No. Solids are resistant to changes in both shape and volume.
