Usually***, solid. The shape is not changed under different pressures, and volume is nearly 100% unaffected by pressure. Liquids flow and change to the container, as does gas.

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').


Do gases always have a definite volume for a given mass?

no, it depends on pressure and temperature as well


Does water have a deffinate volume?

Yes, water has a definite volume. It takes up a specific amount of space, which is why you can measure it in liters or milliliters. The volume of water can change depending on its temperature and pressure, but it will always have a definite volume at any given time.


Do not have definite?

Gases are highly compressible. So they don't have definite volume and pressure. As volume is reduced for a given mass pressure increases. Also as temperature changes then at constant volume pressure changes considerably. Same way for a constant pressure temperature change brings a change in the volume. Moreover gasses do not have a free surface.

What is the opposite of definite in volume?

The opposite of definite in volume (solids and liquids) would be indefinite in volume, as in gases, which can vary in volume for a given mass (pressure).


Dose water have a definite volume?

Yes, water is a liquid and any given amount of liquid will contain the same volume. Although does not keep its definition shape. Meinert


Is it true that A liquid has definite volume but takes the shape of a container?

Yes that is true (for any given temperature and / or pressure, as both of those factors could affect the volume of a liquid)


What best describes a solid?

A solid is a phase of matter in which both the mass and volume of a substance are fixed for a given temperature, and which has maximum resistance to deformity and compression. In geometry, a solid is a contiguous form having three dimensions, a surface area, and a volume.


Define a matter of pure opinion?

There is no definite one answer to given matter of discussion, its matter of opinion.


Which 2 states of matter take up definite amount of space?

The two states of matter that take up a definite amount of space are solids and liquids. This is because the particles in solids and liquids are closely packed together, resulting in a fixed volume for a given amount of substance.


The what of a medium is how much matter or mass there is in a given volume?
