What type of Matter that has definite shape but no definite volume?
The type of matter with a definite volume but no fixed shape is a liquid. In a gas, there is no definite volume or shape, and in a solid there is a fixed shape and definite volume. A liquid is free to adopt of shape of its container, but its volume is fixed.
A substance that has a fixed volume and a fixed shape?
It sounds like you are studying liquids, solids and gases.A liquid doesn't have a definite shape; it will shape like any container you pour it in.A gas doesn't have a definite volume; you can keep it at high pressure or low pressure and it will squeeze.A solid is the third type of physical state.
What type of particles shapes and volumes characterize solids liquids and gases?
A solid has a definite shape and volume and the particles in a solid stay in the same position relative to each other. A liquid has a definite volume, but not a definite shape, and the particles in a liquid slide past and over each other. A gas has neither a definite shape nor volume but fills the entire container it is in. The particles in a gas move all around and bounce off each other and the walls of the container.
A form of matter that has its own shape and volume?
Solids are the type of matter with contain their own shape. Liquids take the shape of the container they are in and gasses fill their container, so therefore, solids are the type of matter which have a shape of their own.
What is a type of body plan that has no definite shape?
radial smmatree
What type of Matter that has definite shape but no definite volume?
The type of matter with a definite volume but no fixed shape is a liquid. In a gas, there is no definite volume or shape, and in a solid there is a fixed shape and definite volume. A liquid is free to adopt of shape of its container, but its volume is fixed.
What type of matter has not definite shape or size?
A gas has no definite shape or volume.
Do not have a definite shape but they have a definite volume?
WATER has no definite shape but has definite volume.
What type of matter has its own shape but no definite volume?
A gas.
Type of matter that has a definite volume but can change shape?
A plastic or fluid.
What a solid liquid and gas have in common?
take up space and have particles
Type of matter that does not have a definite shape but it does have a definite amount of space?
liquid
What type of matter can change shape and volume?
The matter that can change shape and volume is gas.
In what type of matter are atoms most tightly packed?
Matter that has a definite shape and volume is in solid state.
Use what you know about the particles in a gas to explain why a gas has no definite shape and no definite volume?
By definition. There are 4 basic states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. That type which has no definite volume or shape is defined, in physical science, as a gas. Solids have a definite shape and are (practically) not compressible, so their volume is also well defined. Liquids are not compressible, but they can take any shape, liquid meaning fluid (able to flow.) Gasses are fluids which can easily be compressed, so they have no definite volume or shape. Their volume depends upon the pressure applied. Gasses are not particles. Balloons may take any shape and are always filled with some gas. Plasma is a special case of a gas, so hot and excited that its electrons cannot stay bound to its atomic nucleus. That state of matter which has no definite shape or volume is called a gas.
which type of matter has an indefinite shape and an indefinite volume?
gas
What is the definition of liquid?
Any type of matter that does not hold shape but does hold its volume.
