When you only change the shape of matter does mass stay the same?

Yes. (Unless you were to add to or remove form the object to change the shape. For example, a book will not have the same mass if you rip some pages out.)

Can matter be created or destroyed?
Matter can not be created or destroyed in a chemical or physical change. Which is known as the Law of Conservation of Mass. Matter can only be converted, this conversion happens during a chemical change.
When is a reaction considered chemical?
When the only change in mass is converted to light. The amount of matter after the reaction does not change.
Why does changing the shape of the object have no effect on the density of that object?
It does not matter because the density only matters on the mass and volume.
What matter does not change in shape or volume?
That would be a solid. Solids expand and contract with temperature. The only thing that doesn't change with temperature would be degenerate matter such as neutronium.
Does matter have a definit shape?
Only solid matter has a definite shape
How do you know if if mass or matter is conserved?
Well, the Law of Conservation of Mass a.k.a the Principle of Mass/Matter Conservation says that the mass of everything that is closed to all matter and energy will always remain constant over time. ~ You can only tell if mass or matter is conserved by determining if it has a closed system or an open system ~ Mass or matter is only conserved in a closed system because a closed system is a system that cannot exchange matter with its surroundings, so to say that mass or matter is conserved by being "trapped" and will stay constant. I hope this helped!! XD
Does all matter has mass true or false?
FALSE. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter within an object. Weight is the force of gravity on a mass. To get weight from mass, multiply mass by the gravitational constant of whatever planet you are on. MASS IS NOT WEIGHT!!!
Why is the mass of an object the same of the moon as it is on Earth?
Because the shape and size of the object dont change, only the gravity affecting it

Does a change of state result in a change in mass?
No. Physical and chemical changes do not result in less mass, only different arrangements of the atoms and molecules. Changing mass requires either a nuclear reaction such as decay or fusion, or adding very large amounts of energy to the atomic particles (which increases their apparent mass under special relativity).*Also, technically, there is less mass in a positive ion than in a negative ion, because electrons have been removed to create a positively-charged atom, and added to create a negatively-charged ion. But no mass is lost or converted, only the movement of practically negligible mass from atom to atom.
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.
Does everything have mass?
no things like thoughts, energy, time, and forces do not have matter. And since volume is the measure of the amount of space(matter) an object takes up, then non-matter things will not have mass OR volume.
