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).

What is a property of both the solid state and the liquid state?
Both gases and liquids have an indefinite shape - they will take the shape of the container they are held in. The difference between gases and liquids is that liquids have a definite volume while a gas does not.
What is the difference between a fluid and a liquid?
Fluids versus liquidsAll liquids are fluids but not all fluids are liquids. The scientist (or engineer) will make that distinction but the non-scientist frequently doesn't. Fluids flow. They include liquids and gases. Liquids are a type of fluid that flows and takes the shape of its container but does not expand to fill its container. (Gases do that.) Liquid is the second state of matter, between solid and gas.Liquids do not expand, gases do. The main point is that gases and liquids are both fluids.both liquids and gases are called fluids
The shape of a liquid depends upon its?
A liquid takes the shape of its container.
What is 3 state of matter?
the three states of matter includesolid, liquid or gasa solid has a definite shape and volume while a liquid has a definite volume but an indefinite shape. this is because a liquid can take up the shape of its container (where the liquid is held). And a gas has neither a definite shape and volumeall solids liquids or gases can go through the changes of state !
How do you decide whether a sample of matter is a solid liquid or gas?
The differences between a solid, liquid and gas are simple! A solid is an object that has a set volume, and is hard to compress. A liquid will take the shape of its container, but is hard to compress. A gas will take the shape of its container, and is easy to compress.
What is a property of both the solid state and the liquid state?
Both gases and liquids have an indefinite shape - they will take the shape of the container they are held in. The difference between gases and liquids is that liquids have a definite volume while a gas does not.
What the difference between solids liquid gas?
a solid has definite volume and shape, a liquid has definite volume but no shape. a gas has nor volume nor shape
What kind of substance has no definite shape?
Liquid and gases
What is the difference between the state of matter?
the difference between the three states of matter is that a solid has a definite shape and volume. a liquid does not have a definite shape but does have a definite volume. gas does not have either.
What is difference betweenrotar of centrifugal pump and compressor?
pump is used to handle liquid and compressor is used to handle gases. other difference include blade shape etc..
Does no definite shape have anything to do with solid liquid or gas?
Liquids and gases have no definite shape.
Why gases have no definite shape?
Solid, liquid, gas. Even liquids don't have a shape. Gases are much too thin and slippery.
What form of matter takes shape of container that it occupies?
Both a liquid and a gas take the shape of their containers. The difference is that the liquid has a definite volume, and the gas simply diffuses to all portions of the container it is put in.
What takes shape of a container and has no definite volume?
That would be a gas.
A liquid has a definite volume and what?
A liquid has a definite volume but not a definite shape. Solids have a definite volume and shape while gases have none of these properties.
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 is the difference of solidliquid and gas?
The main difference between a liquid and a gas is the constancy of volume. Both are freely flowing, but a liquid will retain a constant volume no matter how much you try to squeeze into a container.
