In a solid the particles are in a regular patten and are packed tightly together so it doesn't take the shape of it's container. The particles in liquids and gases are more spread out and able to move and bounce against the sides of the container.
Basically since they are more spread out the can move and change shape.
I'm pretty sure this is right. .
What else can I help you with?
Are pebbles a solid liquid or gas?
Pebbles are solid.
What has a definite shape . It does not take the shape of its container . It also has a definite volume because it can be measured?
A solid has a definite shape and volume. The particles in a solid are tightly packed, which gives it a defined shape and volume. Solids do not take the shape of their container.
What takes a shape of the container solid liquid or gas?
A gas takes the shape of its container because the particles are far apart and move freely. Liquids also take the shape of the container but have a fixed volume due to closer particle arrangement. Solids have both fixed shape and volume because their particles are tightly packed.
What is matter that has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container?
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.
Is a solid like a container?
Yes. More specifically, hail is a solid form of precipitation and is generally either balls or irregular lumps of ice.
Does a solid need a container to keep its shape?
liquid take shape of the container because the liquid particles stay together but they still more around. solid does not take the shape of the container, because solid is solid. The molecules cannot form the of the container because the molecules a very near each other.Only liquid can take the shape of the container. Thank you.
Are pebbles a solid liquid or gas?
Pebbles are solid.
What is the shape of a liquid?
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.

A solid has a definite shape and volume. The particles in a solid are tightly packed, which gives it a defined shape and volume. Solids do not take the shape of their container.
What takes a shape of the container solid liquid or gas?
A gas takes the shape of its container because the particles are far apart and move freely. Liquids also take the shape of the container but have a fixed volume due to closer particle arrangement. Solids have both fixed shape and volume because their particles are tightly packed.
What BEST describes the physical state of matter that has a fixed volume but takes the shape of its container- Semi-solid - Solid-- Gas or Liquid?
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.
What does liquid take the shape of?
Liquids take the shape of their container.
Why does a solid maintain its shape regardless of its container?
A gas is a substance whose molecules are in constant, rapid, random motion. As a result, a gas will spread out and take on the shape and volume of whatever container it is in-whether a jar, a room, or the atmosphere! This is very different from a liquid or a solid. The molecules in a liquid do not move as fast as those in a gas. A liquid can take on the shape of its container but will keep the same volume, no matter what container it is in. The molecules in a solid just vibrate in place. That is why a solid will retain both its shape and its volume.
What state of matter does not take the shape of the container it is in and why?
Solid. Solids have a fixed shape and volume because their particles are tightly packed together, forming a rigid structure that does not allow them to flow and take the shape of their container.
The shape of a liquid depends upon its?
The shape of a liquid is determined by the container in which it is placed. Liquids take the shape of their container because their particles are able to flow and move around freely, allowing them to conform to the shape of the container.
What is matter that has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container?
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.
Is shape a solid liquid or gas?
A shape is intangible, it's just an outline or configuration of something else. So it is neither a solid, liquid, or gas... it isn't matter.However, I do think you mean to say, "Which forms a definite shape: a solid, liquid, or gas?". In this case, only a solid has a definite shape. Liquids and gases take on the shape of its container, which can vary. Solids are the only state of matter that have their own shape, not dependent on a container.
