Of the three classic phases or states (solid, liquid, gas), gases do not have a defined shape or volume, which is determined by the shape and volume of their containers. A sample will have a defined mass, and the volume into which that mass is confined determines the pressure of the gas.
Liquid is the phase of matter that has no shape like a solid, but has mass and volume unlike a gas. Liquid can be poured into any shape container and it will take on that shape, but the amount will remain constant.
A liquid. A gas has definite volume, but no definite shape, and a solid has both.
No, a phase is a physical characteristic. The substance may or may not have definite shape and volume.
Mater in the liquid phase would display this characteristic. In the vapour and plasma phase both the shape AND volume are not fixed.
a solid
Volume is the amount of space something takes up. It doesn't matter what phase the matter is (gas, liquid, etc). The specific 3-dimensional space occupied is the volume.
liquid, gas, and plasma phases must be contained to remain in the same shape. Solid retains it's shape without containment.
A state of matter having definite volume but no definite shape is called, "liquid".

Solids are the only phase of matter which have a fixed shape and volume.

Liquids have definite volume but not definite shape.A state of matter having a definite volume but no definite shape is a liquid.Liquid has a definite volume, with no definite shape. A way to rememberthis, is to think of it as a scale, and that everything gets more and more loose as it goes from solid to liquid to gas, and so it looses definite volume and definite shape as the scale goes on. I hope this helped.-Teek.
