How do liquids take shape of the container they are poured into?
Wiki User

The different layers are formed because the two liquids are not compatible, or do not mix well. The order of the layers is always from the densest liquid on the bottom to the least dense liquid on top. For example, oil and water, water is denser so it sinks to the bottom and the oil floats.
Liquids may form layers whether or not they are of equal volume.

∙ 10y agowhat causes different liquids to form layers is the density of each liquid. Liquids that are more dense than other liquids will sink to the bottom. Liquids that are less dense will float to the top.

What happens to the volume of a liquid when it is poured into a container with a different shape?
Liquids take on the shape of any container they are placed in. If the volume of the container is less than the total volume of the liquid, them the difference in quantity will overflow the top of the container.
Can liquids fill any container?
No, a liquid does not necessarily fill the container it is in; however liquids always take the shape of their container.
Are liquids take the shape of their container?
Yes liquids take the shape of their container. The molecules aren't as close together as in a solid so they can slide over each other.
Does a solid substance has both a shape and volume of its own?
Yes. Liquids take the shape of a container but not the volume, and gases take the shape and volume of a container.
What kind of matter takes the shape and size of any container?
A gas will take on the size and shape of a container. Liquids and solids will not.
What does liquid take the shape of?
Liquids take the shape of their container.
Are liquids have no shape?
Liquids take the shape of the container they are in.
Do liquids have their own shape?
No, liquids take the shape of the container they are in.
Do solids take the shape of it container?
No they don't because they have tightly packed particles. But liquids can take the shape of their container.
Can liquids shape themselves?
Liquids will take up the shape of the container.
What Takes shape of its container?
Liquids and gases will "take the shape" of their container.
What takes the shape of container?
Liquids and gases will "take the shape" of their container.
Why do liquids follow their container?
Liquids have a definite mass but not a definite shape so they take the shape of their container.
Why doesn't liquid have shape?
Liquids do have shape. Liquids take the shape of whichever container they are put into.
What take the shape of the container in which they are kept?
liquids
What do liquids take their shape from?
The object or container that they are in.
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.
