Does a neutron have a definite shape and volume?
Nothing on the subatomic level is entirely definite, as described by Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, but within the limits of that uncertainty, yes, neutrons have a definite shape (spherical) and volume (which is very small).
How can you describe a gas?
They are made of gas, obviously, and not dirt; They all contain rings; they have deep, massive, atmospheres.
What is the difference between a Condensate and liquify and gas?
A gas doesn't have a definite shape or volume iits molecules are very loose A liquid doesn't have a definite shape, but it does have a definite volume. A solid has both a definite shape and volume. molecules in solid are closely bound together. molecules in liquid are closely bound but not so closely as compared to solid molecules in gas are spread far away from each other. solids cannot be easily compressed. liquids and gases are easily compressible. solids have fixed shape. liquids and gases have the shape of the container.
What solids have definite volume?
As per the kinetic theory of matter , the solids have very less intermolecular space and the force of attraction is very much.This does not allow the particles to move around freely and thus solids have a definite volume.
What account for solid matter to be definite in shape while liquid and gas to be indefinite in shape?
because of its molecules solid molecules are very close to each other that's why they make definite shape, while liquid and gas molecules are far apart.
Solid ?
When molecules are very close together and are regularly arranged.
What has a definite volume but takes the shape of the container?
Liquids do so, solids don't. Gases don't have a definite volume, though they take the shape of their container very easily.

What does not have a definite shape but they do have a definite volume?
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.
Why solid had definite shape?
A solid has a definite shape because of kinetic energy. Its molecules are very strong, and because of kinetic energy, they are tightly packed together creating mass and volume that makes up a definite shape.

What is matter that has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container?
A liquid. A gas has no definite volume, as it's volume is whatever the volume of the container it is in happens to be. A solid, by it's nature of being solid, will not take on the shape of it's container.
How can you describe a gas?
They are made of gas, obviously, and not dirt; They all contain rings; they have deep, massive, atmospheres.
Does gas have definite shape?
No, a gas expands to fill the container it is in.
Why do solid have definite shape and volume?
in solids, molecules are very tightly packed. thus they can't able to move here and there

Why does a solid have a definite shape and volume?
The particles of solids have low kinetic energy, so they do not move very much, only vibrating in place, therefore they have a definite shape and volume.
