Gravity causes water to flow downhill. A blob of water released inside a spacecraft under zero gravity, will form a floating sphere. On earth, If there are no sides to retain the water, the water spreads out and forms a puddle.

Do liquids have a shape of its own?

Water, or liquids do not have a shape


Activity to show that liquid do not have definite shape and size?

One activity to demonstrate that liquids do not have a definite shape and size is to pour water from a container into different shaped containers (such as a cup, bowl, or bottle). The water will take on the shape of the new container, showing that liquids take the shape of their container. Additionally, the volume of the liquid will change based on the size of the container, further demonstrating that liquids do not have a definite size.


What all is liquids?

Liquids are a state of matter with definite volume but no definite shape. Examples of liquids include water, milk, oil, and juice. Liquids can flow and take the shape of their container.


Will a water bottle change its shape when filled with hot water?

Yes, a water bottle made of certain materials like plastic may change its shape when filled with hot water due to the expansion of the material. It is advisable to use bottles specifically designed for hot liquids to prevent deformation or leaching of harmful chemicals.


Which has a definite volume and indefinite shape gas or liquid?

Super-cooled liquidsA gas takes the shape of its container and fills it, as well. A liquid takes the shape of its container but doesn't fill it necessarily. A solid has a definite volume and shape and usually, but not always, exhibits a crystalline structure. Solids that do not have a crystalline structure are sometimes called "super-cooled liquids" because liquids have no crystalline structure. Glass is a good example of a solid that has no crystalline structure.

What is changing shape but not changing volume?

A cloud would be an example of something changing shape but not changing volume. As a cloud moves and disperses, its shape can change while the total volume of its water droplets remains the same.


What are some solids that change into liquids?

Ice turns to water is the first example that comes into my mind.

What substance can change its shape?

Almost every substance can change its shape under the correct conditions. Certain stubstances are known for being fluid or liquid under normal room temperatures, such as mercury (also called quicksilver), water and ethanol.


What are the 3 state of matters?

The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. 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.

Why solid do not mix well but gases and liquids mix easily in most cases?

Solids do not mix well because there shape can not change. But a liquid and a gas can change their form. For example- you can't just change the shape of ice, but you can change the shape of water. Hope that helps


Why can liquids change shapes but solids cannot?

a Solid can change shape but humans and erosion would have to do that. Liquids on the other hand will form into any mold that you put it in. It also depends on the hardness. A rock is hard so it is harder to form. Water isn't hard so it is easier to mold.


What are two examples of liquids that can change to solids?

water


Do liquids have definite shape like solids.why?

No they don't because liquids have no definite shape like water when you put it in a square shaped beaker and you put water in a cylinder shaped beaker they don't have the same shape right? So that's why they don't have a definite shape. Thanks! :)
