Does water keep its shape and volume?
Even though a liquid can change shape to fit in to a square, circular, rectagular or evenÊaÊflatÊcontainer, Liquid still retains its volume. Liquids always have a definate volume but they can always change shape.
Why does a liquid have a definite volume but gas does not?
Gas will always keep expanding until it fills the entire shape and volume of whatever container you put it in. Liquid won't do that. It just lays there in the bottom. It takes the shape of the container, but keeps the same volume it had when you poured it in there.
Are particles in this state of matter keep their shape occupy a fixed volume and vibrate in a fixed position a liquid?
Nope, that's a solid.
What state of matter does not change its shape or volume?
This is a liquid. Note that the volume of a liquid will change a bit with temperature, but remains relatively the same. Also note that science teachers are fond of saying that a liquid takes the shape of its container, which is pretty much the same as saying it has no fixed shape.
Do liquids keep their shape?
Okay... Whoever wrote this was really stupid. One of the main characteristics of liquid is that it takes the shape of the bottom of it's container. So no, a liquid does not keep it's own shape. If it did, then it would be a solid.
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.
Does a liquid keep its shape in a container?
Liquids always take the shape of the container that they are in. This is the basic definition of a liquid.
A liquid takes the shape of its container and keeps the same volume?
Due to the constant motion of the particles in a liquid, the particles could theoretically keep moving so that the liquid never takes a form. But putting the liquid into a container effectively throws a huge wall in front of the moving particles that they cannot get past. the particles hit the sides of the container and change direction. The liquid then remains in that shape despite the fact that its particles are still moving (hitting the sides of the container). Because a liquid has stronger intermolecular forces than gases, the liquid stays in liquid form and does not just evaporate once it is put into a container and its particles hit an obstacle.
Dose water have a definite volume?
Yes, water is a liquid and any given amount of liquid will contain the same volume. Although does not keep its definition shape. Meinert
Why liquid has no definite shape but has definite volume?
Yes, liquids have a definite volume but not a definite shape, compared to solids that have a definite shape and a definite volume or gasses that have neither a definite shape or volume.
Does a liquid keep it's volume when an object gets dissolved into it?
No
Does vapour keep its shape?
No. It takes on the shape of whatever you put it in.
