Solids.
A liquid has a fixed volume but not a fixed shape. If you put it into a graduated cylinder, it will take the shape of the cylinder. If you put it into a bowl, it will take the shape of the bowl.
Gas has no definite volume because its particles are spread out and can expand to fill any container they are placed in. The other states of matter - solid, liquid, and plasma - have a definite volume.
A solid has a fixed volume and shape. Like a bar of soap. A liquid has a fixed volume, but no fixed shape, like water. A gas has no fixed volume and no fixed shape. Like a burp. If you pour mouthwash into a glass, it still has volume, but now it takes on the shape of the glass. Hmmm. Sounds mighty liquidy, does it not?
The type of matter that has a definite shape but no definite volume is a solid. Solids have a fixed shape because their particles are closely packed together, but they can change volume slightly in response to temperature and pressure changes.
Solids are the only phase of matter which have a fixed shape and volume.
Solid: Particles are tightly packed together, have a fixed shape and volume, and vibrate in place. Liquid: Particles are close together but can flow and take the shape of their container, with a fixed volume. Gas: Particles are far apart, move freely, have no fixed shape or volume, and fill the entire container they are in.
A solid has a definite shape and volume. (but the volume may change with temperature)A liquid has a definite volume but not a definite shape, and a gas has no definite volume or shape.
A solid has a definite shape, and a definite volume.
A solid is a state of matter characterized by particles that are closely packed together in a fixed arrangement, giving it a definite shape and volume. A liquid is a state of matter where particles are close together but can move past one another, allowing the substance to flow and take the shape of its container.
Solid, liquid, and gas are the three states of matter. Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither a fixed shape nor volume and fill the container they are in.
The three common states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither a fixed shape nor volume and expand to fill their container.
Matter can exist in three main states: solid, liquid, and gas. Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither a fixed shape nor volume and will expand to fill their container.
