Solids have a definite shape and volume, meaning they do not take the shape or volume of their container. The particles in a solid are tightly packed and have strong intermolecular forces, which allow them to maintain their shape and volume. Unlike liquids and gases, solids do not flow to fill the shape of their container.

What State Of Matter Takes The Shape Of It's Container?
Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter (with solid, liquid and plasma being the other states). It has the distinction of taking both the shape and the volume of the container that it is in. If you want to include plasma, that too will expand - acting like a gas. So will supercritical fluids which might be considered gases by some definitions, but not by others..
What is matter that has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container?
A liquid. A gas has no definite volume, as it's volume is whatever the volume of the container it is in happens to be. A solid, by it's nature of being solid, will not take on the shape of it's container.
What takes a shape of the container solid liquid or gas?
A gas takes the shape of its container because the particles are far apart and move freely. Liquids also take the shape of the container but have a fixed volume due to closer particle arrangement. Solids have both fixed shape and volume because their particles are tightly packed.
What is the volume for the three states of matter?
The volume of a solid is fixed and maintains a specific shape. The volume of a liquid is determined by its container but it takes the shape of the container. The volume of a gas is not fixed and expands to fill the available space.
What is liquid solid or gas?
These are the three common states of matter. A liquid has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container, a solid has both definite shape and volume, and a gas has neither definite shape nor volume.
What is defined a fluid?
A substance that is not a solid or gas, takes the shape of its container, has definite volume, but no definite shape.

Matter that has volume and shape?
Matter that takes both the shape and volume of its container is a gas. A solid is characterized by having a definite shape and definite volume.
What is the matter that takes the shape but not its volume of its container?
The matter that takes the shape but not the volume of its container is a gas. Gases have particles that are far apart and move freely, allowing them to fill the shape of their container but not have a fixed volume.
What is the volume for the three states of matter?
The volume of a solid is fixed and maintains a specific shape. The volume of a liquid is determined by its container but it takes the shape of the container. The volume of a gas is not fixed and expands to fill the available space.
List properties of a liquid?
A liquid has a definite volume but an indefinite shape. It takes the shape of its container.
Does a solid takes the shape of the container?
Never
What is the shape of a liquid?
A liquid takes the shape of any solid that it is contained within. For example water within a square container will appear square, but water within a triangular container will appear triangular.
What is liquid solid or gas?
These are the three common states of matter. A liquid has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container, a solid has both definite shape and volume, and a gas has neither definite shape nor volume.
What BEST describes the physical state of matter that has a fixed volume but takes the shape of its container- Semi-solid - Solid-- Gas or Liquid?
the state of mater that has a definite shape is solid. solid always have a definite shape. on the other hand liquids and gases do not have a definite shape. they take the shape of their container.
