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 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.
Why a sponge a solid though compressible?
as t does not expand or take the shape of container it has its fixed shape
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.
The shape of the water molecule H2O?
Well, there is no shape to water. If you have a container the water takes on the shape of the container, but that is not the waters shape, it is the container that the water is in. So even though the water has formed into a shape, it is that containers shape and not the water's shape.
Does a gas has both the shape and volume of its container?
A gas will expand to fill its container. This gives the gas the shape and volume of its container.
What doesnt have a fixed shape or volume?
Gases do not have a fixed shape or volume; they expand to completely fill the container they occupy.
When water with closed container placed in refrigeratorwhen it gets solid state why the container will break?
When water freezes, it also expands in volume. Unless the container can also expand, it will break, due to the powerful pressure of the expanding water. If water freezes it will expand because the molecules are separated in the container.
Liquids and gases are different from solids because they?
maintain their own shape and do not take the shape of their container.
