No and yes.
Well, it doesn't actually "shrink". "Compress" is a better word, because
it takes 'pressure' ... you literally have to 'work' in the scientific sense
to cram the same amount of gas into a smaller space. Just think of
how hard it is to blow up a little balloon. You really have to do some
pushing, but eventually you've got four or five lungfuls of air all into
the little balloon. You can take any amount of gas, and if you push
hard enough, you can stuff it into a small space. With any shape.
What else can I help you with?
Solids and liquids both have fixed?
Solids and liquids both have fixed volumes... in that if they are put into a container, they will not expand to fill the container. Gases on the other hand, do the exact opposite - they expand to fill their containers, thus not having fixed volumes.
What does the word liquid mean in science?
In science, "liquid" refers to a state of matter that has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container. Liquids flow and can be poured, but do not expand to fill the entire space of a container like gases.
Does plasma have a fixed shape or volume?
Plasma does not have a fixed shape or volume as it is the fourth state of matter composed of ionized gases. Plasma takes the shape of its container and can expand or contract depending on external factors such as pressure and temperature.
What are three ways matter is found?
Matter can exist in three main states: solid, liquid, and gas. Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither a fixed shape nor volume and will expand to fill their container.
Do Liquids have a fixed but do not have a fixed?
No, liquids do not have a fixed volume - their volume is that of the container
What is true about gas?
a gas has a fixed shape and will expand or shrink to fill any container
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.
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.
Solids and liquids both have fixed?
Solids and liquids both have fixed volumes... in that if they are put into a container, they will not expand to fill the container. Gases on the other hand, do the exact opposite - they expand to fill their containers, thus not having fixed volumes.
What is the shape of gasses?
gases takes the shape and volume of the container
What does the word liquid mean in science?
In science, "liquid" refers to a state of matter that has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container. Liquids flow and can be poured, but do not expand to fill the entire space of a container like gases.
Does plasma have a fixed shape or volume?
Plasma does not have a fixed shape or volume as it is the fourth state of matter composed of ionized gases. Plasma takes the shape of its container and can expand or contract depending on external factors such as pressure and temperature.
Which state would the substance be if it had no fixed volume?
The substance would be in a gaseous state if it had no fixed volume. Gases have no fixed shape or volume and can expand to fill the container they are in.
Which 2 states of matter take the shape of it container?
The two states of matter that take the shape of their container are gases and liquids. Gases have no fixed shape or volume and will expand to fill any container, while liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container.
What are three ways matter is found?
Matter can exist in three main states: solid, liquid, and gas. Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither a fixed shape nor volume and will expand to fill their container.
What are the 3 common states of matter on the planet?
The three common states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither a fixed shape nor volume and expand to fill their container.
What is the volume and the shape of liquids?
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.
