What does not have a definite shape that takes up the container?
Both liquids and gases do not have a definite shape, however they will assume the form of the container they are placed in.
What State Of Matter Takes The Shape Of It's Container?
Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter (with solid, liquid and plasma being the other states). It has the distinction of taking both the shape and the volume of the container that it is in. If you want to include plasma, that too will expand - acting like a gas. So will supercritical fluids which might be considered gases by some definitions, but not by others..
Why the shape of the cylinder does not affect the measurement of volume?
A liquid takes up the shape of a container without its volume changing.
Can A liquid have a definite shape and takes on the volume of its container?
No. Liquid is exactly the other way around. It has a definite volume, and takes on theshape of the container up to the depth occupied by that volume.
What kind of state is matter in when it takes the shape of its container but only takes up a certain volume?
The matter is in the liquid state when it takes the shape of its container but maintains a fixed volume. Liquids have defined volume but take the shape of their container due to weak intermolecular forces that allow them to flow. Examples include water and oil.
Matter that has volume and shape?
Matter that takes both the shape and volume of its container is a gas. A solid is characterized by having a definite shape and definite volume.
Does a gas have an indefinite shape?
Yes, a gas does not have a definite shape and will expand to fill the container it is placed in. This is because gas particles move freely and in random directions, spreading out to take the shape of their container.
Does a liquid has a definite volume and definite shape?
It has a definite volume but no definite shape it change based on the container it's in.
Does gas have volume and shape?
The volume of a sample of liquid is fixed, but may expand or contract with heat. The shape of a liquid is defined by its container. In the absence of gravity, liquids outside a container will assume a generally spherical shape.
How does a gas take up the shape of a container?
It will completely fill the container.
Can liquids shape themselves?
Liquids will take up the shape of the container.
Does gas keep the shape of its container?
Depends on the strength of the container. A balloon, for instance, won't keep it's shape but a glass jar can within proportion. See Boyle's Law. I oppose gas does not keep the shape of anything that has yet to be inviented
