a gas
Actually all three states of matter can do this, but the gas state in the most.
A solid does. Liquids change in shape and gases change in both shape and volume.
liquid
The matter that can change shape and volume is gas.
ANSWER unlike solids, both liquids and gases can change their shape to fit the container in which they are held. however, gases can also change volume unlike liquids.
A solid has a definite shape and volume.
A solid has a fixed volume and does not change shape.
A liquid has a definite volume (which can change with temperature), but takes the shape of its container.
A gas can change shape but it doesn't change volume, a liquid also changes shape but doesn't change volume.
Yes, they can take the shape and volume of their container.
Compression or stretching can change the shape of an object without changing its volume. When an object is compressed or stretched in one direction, its shape is altered but the volume remains constant.
This is the definition of a gas.
No, a rock cannot have a fixed volume but not a fixed shape. Solids, including rocks, have both a fixed volume and a fixed shape due to the closely packed arrangement of their particles. While some materials can change shape (like liquids), they still maintain a fixed volume. In contrast, rocks, being solids, retain both characteristics.
