A liquid has an indefinite shape. It takes the shape of its 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 gas will take on the size and shape of a container. Liquids and solids will not.
Both a liquid and a gas take the shape of their containers. The difference is that the liquid has a definite volume, and the gas simply diffuses to all portions of the container it is put in.
"liquids"
Something that takes the shape of the container it is in. E.g. Water takes the shape of the container which it is in.
A liquid has a definite volume but an indefinite shape. It takes the shape of its container.
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.
It doesn't! It takes the shape of whatever container you put it in. At least, it takes the shape of the floor of the container.
Liquids and gases will "take the shape" of their container.
Liquids and gases will "take the shape" of their container.
A gas or a plasma takes on the entire size (volume) and shape of its container. A liquid takes the shape of its container but always has a definite size (volume) and may not completely fill its container.
No definite shape, it takes the shape of the container
Substances which take the shape of a container are said to have an "Indefinite Shape" or fluids
water
gases takes the shape and volume of the container
Liquids
