Gases have the greatest volume.
Liquids are denser than gases.
Most solids are slightly denser than liquids.
One important exception is ice. Ice is solid water, but because of its crystal structure, ice is not as dense as liquid water.

Unlike solids and liquids a gas will?
Unlike solids and liquids, a gas will expand to fill the space available to it.
Do solids have a fixed shape and volume?
Yes they do. Liquids have no fixed shape and gases have no fixed volume.
Compare solids liquids and gases in terms of their shapes and volumes.?
Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but no definite shape - they take the shape of their container. Gases have no definite volume and no definite shape - they expand to fill their entire container.
What states of matter have definite volume?
Solids and liquids are two states of matter that occupy a definite volume. The molecules in them are bonded by strong intermolecular forces which do not allow them to be compressed to a very large extent.
What properties do solids and liquids share?
A solid is matter with a definite shape and volume. A liquid is matter that has a definite volume but no definite shape. Why? Here is an example. When you pour a liquid from one container to another, the liquid takes the shape of the container. The volume of the liquid is the same. The properties that solids and liquids share are that they both have definite volume. Source- Mrs. Kristen Eichinger, Mrs. Cindy Surplus and my Harcourt Science book
What is the difference between a solid and a liquid volume?
Solids and liquids both have definite volumes. Gasses, however, do not have a definite volume.
What item has a fixed volume solids liquids or gases?
solids and liquids
Do solids liquids and gases have a definite volume?
Solids have a set volume. Liquids have a set volume. Gases do not have a set volume. Why? Solids are solids. They don't move. They're in a 'frozen state' as is. Liquids 'mold' to the shape of their container and they stay there. Gases are free to go anywhere. Always moving and 'flying.'
What is the difference between solid liquid and gases in shape?
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).
How are measurements of volume for solids and liquids alike?
Which of the following has a fixed volume?
solids and liquids
What do solids liquids and gases have that are different?
Structure. Solids have definite shape and definite volume. Liquids have definite volume but indefinite shape. Gases have both indefinite shape and indefinite volume.
What are two differences between a liquid and a solid?
Liquids can fill the shape of an object, and Solids have a defiant shape. Easy one: Liquids are measured in volume's, and Solids are measured in Grams. THE MORE YOU KNOW.
What do you use to measure the volume of liquids and solids?
idnk
What solids and liquids have in common?
Both have a fixed volume.
Which phases of matter have definite volume?
solids and liquids
Unlike solids and liquids a gas will?
Unlike solids and liquids, a gas will expand to fill the space available to it.
