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.

WATER has no definite shape but has definite volume.


What the state of matter that keep the shape and volume when it is placed in a different container?

The state of matter that maintains both shape and volume when placed in a different container is a solid. Solids have particles that are tightly packed together, giving them a fixed shape and volume.


What is a form of matter that has a definite volume but no definite shape?

The state of matter that has definite volume, but indefinite shape is the liquid state. A solid constantly has the same shape and volume. A wooden block (solid) will not change its shape or volume unless it is melted, but that would involve changing it from solid to liquid. A liquid constantly has the same volume, but its shape changes. Find a cylindrical container that has the same volume as a rectangular container. Fill the cylindrical container with water. Then, pour the water to the rectangular container. The shape of the water changed from cylindrical to rectangular and the volume remained the same, unless some water was dropped in the process. A gas has changing shape and volume. Find a small container full of a colored gas. Open in it inside a room. The gas will spread all over the room. Its volume changed from the volume of the container to the size of the room. Its shape has changed from the shape of the container to the shape of the room.

How do you find the volume of a or an irregular shape?

To find the volume of an irregular shape it is immersed in water and the volume of water displaced is the volume of the shape.A can with a hole high in the side can be filled until the water is exactly at the hole ie over filled and no more water is running out.A measuring container is positioned to catch any overflow of water.The object is immersed in the can and the water is caught in the measuring device.The volume of water collected = the volume of the object.In science cans are made with a spout on one side for this purpose.
