Fixed volume In terms of gases,is that a fixed volume would mean that the pressure, temperature and the number of molecules can change but the volume, or area in which the molecules lie, must remain constant.
Think of a metal drinking bottle versus a plastic bottle. You cannot squirt water from a metal bottle because the shape is fixed, therefore the volume. You can squirt water from a plastic bottle because you can change the shape and reduce the volume.
No, liquids do not have a fixed volume - their volume is that of the container
A gas has no fixed volume or shape.
A solid has a fixed volume and does not change shape.
A solid has a fixed volume and form. A liquid has a fixed volume but has the form of a container. A gas has not a fixed volume or form.
The phase of matter with no fixed shape but fixed volume is a liquid. Liquids take the shape of their container but maintain a constant volume because the particles are close together but can move past each other.
The substance would be in a gaseous state if it had no fixed volume. Gases have no fixed shape or volume and can expand to fill the container they are in.
Yes, solids have a fixed shape and volume. The particles in a solid are closely packed and have strong intermolecular forces that prevent them from moving freely, thus maintaining 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.
