volume= mass\Density . so as if shape remain same then its mass and density remain fixed . so therefore no such object , but if we apply Einstein theory of relativity then as it says " after traveling some distance each object looses its mass which is very less i.e in fraction, which in negligible . Therefore each object is the answer.

Which state of matter has no definite shape but definite volume?
The state of matter that has no definite shape but a definite volume is a liquid.Liquid has definite volume but no shape. It assumes the shape of the vessel in which it is kept.All liquids have a definite volume given a particular fixed temperature.for example, water. it has no definite shape but a definite volume under a given temperature.no matter that has no shape and a definite volume exists.as the temperature is decreased, the molecules in a substance lose energy and they come closer and thus the volume decreases. but when it is heated, the molecules gain energy and move around hitting each other and moving farther and farther still. thus the volume increases on heating.Added:Liquid has NO definite shape but certaily (YES) a definite volume.This volume is not depending on temperature in the sense of not being 'defined' (as erroneously stated above).Its (defined) volume is determined by the amount and kind of matter and depending on (not defined by) temperature.(This means that it has not a constant value for a certain amount of liquid, but it is still a definite volume, meaning that, at each temperature a certain volume is 'defined' for a certain amount of liquid (defined is a derived word from 'definite').
What kind of substance is made up of neutral atoms or molecules and changes its shape and volume when placed in a new container?
Gases
What kind of substance is made up of only one type of matter and has definite properties?
Element
What kind of substance can you pour from one container into another without a change in volume?
Liquid.
How are shapes and volume used to classify solids liquids and gases?
A solid has a definite shape and volume that can be directly measured. A liquid does not have a definite shape, but it does have a measurable volume. A gas has neither a definite volume or shape and will completely fill the container it is in.
What kind of substance has no definite shape and volume?
a gas
What kind of shape volume and particles solid have?
solid have definite shape , definite volume and close together particles
What kind of shape and volume does liquid have?
A liquid has an indefinite shape and a definite volume.
What kind of substance has no definite shape?
Liquid and gases
What kind of state of matter has a definite volume but no definite shape?
Matter in a liquid form.

What kind of a substance happens no matter what state or shape is its mass per unit volume?
density
What does shape have to do with volume?
The volume of a figure depends on the kind of shape it has.
What kind of substance is made up of neutral atoms or molecules and changes its shape and volume when placed in a new container?
Gases
What kind of substance is made of only one kind of matter and has definite properties?
Elements.
How would you compare and contrast liquid water and ice in terms of how definite their shapes and volumes are?
Liquids have a variable shape take the shape of the container. Gases also have a variable shape and take the shape of the container.Liquids have a fixed volume. Gases have a variable volume and fill the container.
Why a gas has no definite shape and no definite volume?
The forces of attraction between gas molecules is too weak for them to mantain any kind of definitive shape.( solids only have a shape because there are strong intermolecular forces between solid molecules). The reason for gas molecules not being able to mantain a fixed volume is also the same, the inter atomic forces are too weak to prevent spreading of gas molecules. Your looking for ( gas )
