Mater in the liquid phase would display this characteristic.
In the vapour and plasma phase both the shape AND volume are not fixed.
The state of matter that has a definite shape but not a definite volume is a solid. Solids have a fixed shape due to the arrangement of particles, but they can still be compressed or expanded slightly.
No state of matter corresponds to this. Solids are the only state with definite shape, but they have a definite volume too.
The state of matter with a definite volume but no definite shape is called a liquid.
The state of matter that has no definite shape or volume is called a gas.
The state of matter that has no definite volume or shape is called a gas.
The type of matter that has a definite shape but no definite volume is a solid. Solids have a fixed shape because their particles are closely packed together, but they can change volume slightly in response to temperature and pressure changes.
Solid, liquid, and gas are the three states of matter. Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither a fixed shape nor volume and fill the container they are in.
The state of matter that has a definite shape but not a definite volume is a solid. Solids have a fixed shape due to the arrangement of particles, but they can still be compressed or expanded slightly.
liquid has no definite shape and a solid has no definite shape or volume
The phase of matter with no fixed shape but fixed volume is a liquid. Liquids take the shape of their container but maintain a constant volume because the particles are close together but can move past each other.
Solids are the only phase of matter which have a fixed shape and volume.
WATER has no definite shape but has definite volume.
Liquids have a definite volume but no definite shape. You can measure the volume easily by pouring a liquid into a graduated container. But as for its shape, it simply adopts the shape of whatever you pour it into.
A solid has a definite shape, and a definite volume.
No state of matter corresponds to this. Solids are the only state with definite shape, but they have a definite volume too.
Yes, some matter can have a definite volume but not a definite shape. This is characteristic of liquids, which maintain a fixed volume but take the shape of their container. In contrast, solids have both definite volume and shape, while gases have neither. Thus, liquids exemplify matter that has a definite volume without a definite shape.
The common state of matter that does not have a definite shape or volume is gas. Gas particles move freely, filling the space available to them, and do not have a fixed shape or volume.
