Im a sbstance that has a fixed volume and a fixed shape?
Solids are substances which have a fixed volume and fixed shape. Liquids, on the other hand, have a fixed volume but no definite shape. Finally, gases don't have a definite volume or shape.
Fixed volume but match their container?
Solids are rigid and incompressible. Liquids have fixed volume but match their container. Gases completely fill their container.
Why do solids have fixed shape and volume while liquids only have fixed volume and gases neither have fixed volume nor fixed shapes. why?
Simply, Solids have fixed shape and volume because the particles are very , very close to each other . Volume of liquid is the space which is occupied by this liquid, so it's fixed unless you cool this liquid or heat it and it takes the shape of its container As for the gases, the particles are very apart from each other and move freely, so they cannot have a fixed volume or shape and this is due to the attraction force between particles
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.
Which state of matter maintains a fixed volume and shape?
A solid has a definite shape and volume. (but the volume may change with temperature)A liquid has a definite volume but not a definite shape, and a gas has no definite volume or shape.
Do solids have no fixed volume or shape?
Solids have a fixed volume or shape at room temperature or pressure.
Solids have a fixed volume and?
fixed shape
Do solids have a fixed shape and volume?
Yes, solids have a fixed shape and volume. The particles in a solid are closely packed and have strong intermolecular forces that prevent them from moving freely, thus maintaining a fixed shape and volume.
What item has a fixed volume solids liquids or gases?

What solids and liquids have in common?
Both have a fixed volume.

What has a fixed shape and volume gas solid or liquid?
Solids.
The two common properties of all solids are fixed and?
The two common properties of all solids are fixed shape and fixed volume. This means that solids have a definite shape and their particles are closely packed together, leading to minimal movement.
What are the names of the properties that liquids and solids share?
They are both incompressible, and they have a fixed volume at a fixed temperature.
Fixed volume but match their container?
Solids are rigid and incompressible. Liquids have fixed volume but match their container. Gases completely fill their container.
