A gas and a liquid will both take the shape of their container. However only a gas will take on the volume of its container as well.
The ocean is a liquid. It consists of salt water that flows and takes the shape of its container, making it a liquid.
A liquid. A gas has no definite volume, as it's volume is whatever the volume of the container it is in happens to be. A solid, by it's nature of being solid, will not take on the shape of it's container.
Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter (with solid, liquid and plasma being the other states). It has the distinction of taking both the shape and the volume of the container that it is in. If you want to include plasma, that too will expand - acting like a gas. So will supercritical fluids which might be considered gases by some definitions, but not by others..
A liquid takes the shape of its container due to its ability to flow and conform to the container's boundaries. This property is known as the fluidity of liquids.
A liquid is a substance that can be poured and takes the shape of its container.
It takes the shape of its container, like a liquid. It is not a solid because it takes the shape of its container, unlike a solid. Not a gas because you can see it
No its a liquid because it takes the shape of it's container
liquid,gas,and solid
A liquid takes the shape of any solid that it is contained within. For example water within a square container will appear square, but water within a triangular container will appear triangular.
Solid cannot shape of a container but if you look at something like sand it is still a solid though it behaves like a liquid.
A liquid has a definite volume but an indefinite shape. It takes the shape of its container.
the state of mater that has a definite shape is solid. solid always have a definite shape. on the other hand liquids and gases do not have a definite shape. they take the shape of their container.
It's because an icecube is a solid. Unless if it's melted, it will stay as a solid (cube shape)
Liquid. There may be solids in chunkier tomato sauce though.
The ocean is a liquid. It consists of salt water that flows and takes the shape of its container, making it a liquid.
at room temperature, water is considered a liquid because it has a definite volume (it does not expand to fill its container like a gas) but not a definite shape (it takes the shape of its container, as opposed to a solid which keeps its shape regardless of the container it is in).
Something that takes the shape of the container it is in. E.g. Water takes the shape of the container which it is in.
