What else can I help you with?
What expand or contract to take the shape of a container?
Liquids and gasses will expand or contract to take the shape of a container.
Why is water call a liquid?
at room temperature, water is considered a liquid because it has a definite volume (it does not expand to fill its container like a gas) but not a definite shape (it takes the shape of its container, as opposed to a solid which keeps its shape regardless of the container it is in).
What is the shape of gasses?
gases takes the shape and volume of the container
What will matter in a gas state do?
It will expand to fill the container and change shape to conform to the interior of the container.
What does not take the shape of the container it is in?
Solids conform to your needs. [As distinct from gases and liquids.]
Does jello expand when set?
Jello does not expand when it sets. It solidifies and retains the shape of the container it is placed in.
Why can a liquid expand to take the shape of its container but not expand to fill the container?
It doesn't expand to take the shape of its container, but it flows because the particles can slide past each other, and the bonds are loose, and not completely broken, whereas in gases, the bonds between particles have been broken down, and so they can move apart and fill the container.
Do gases have a definite volume?
no
Does gas have volume and shape?
The volume of a sample of liquid is fixed, but may expand or contract with heat. The shape of a liquid is defined by its container. In the absence of gravity, liquids outside a container will assume a generally spherical shape.
What state of matter changes shape when placed into a container?
A gas changes shape when placed into a container. Gases do not have a fixed shape or volume, and they expand to fill the space available to them. This is in contrast to solids and liquids, which have a fixed shape and volume.
What is a form of matter without a definite shape or volume?
A gas is a form of matter that does not have a definite shape or volume. Gases expand to fill the container they are in and take the shape of the container.
Does a gas has both the shape and volume of its container?
Yes, a gas will take the shape and volume of its container as it fills the space available to it. Gas molecules are free to move and expand so they will evenly distribute themselves to fit the container.
