Matter in the liquid state can take the shape of a container. However, a liquid has a definite volume. On the other hand, a gas can do both, that is take the shape and volume or size 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.
Why can liquid take the shape of the bottom of its container?
as there are less inter molecular space between them they do not have a definite shape and so the liquids do not have any shape so if we pore it to any container it takes the shape of the container.

Does gas have definite shape?
No, a gas expands to fill the container it is in.
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 does not have a definite shape but they do have a definite volume?
A liquid has a definite volume (which can change with temperature), but takes the shape of its container.A Liquid is the state that has no definite shape, since the atoms can move around, it is therefore able to form itself to the shape of its container. However, since the atoms still have weak bonds to one another, it cannot fill up a closed container by stretching out the atoms. (The form of matter that does this is a gas.)* Liquids can be very slightly compressed, but not to the extent of gases.---There are 3 phases of matter. Solids, liquids and gases. Solids have a definite shape and a definite volume. Liquids do not have a definite shape but do have a definite volume. Gases do not have a definite shape as they can "flow", and they do not have a definite volume as they can fill a container by changing in pressure (density).LiquidLiquidA liquid has a definite volume but assumes the shape of any container which it is placed into.
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 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 Substances that assume the shape of their container but do not have the definite size are called?
Substances that assume the shape of their container but do not have a definite size is water or any liquid substance.
How is gas able to to fill a container of any shape or size?
Because gas has no shape and gases adopt the shape of that container in which gas is placed.
Does water have a lopsided shape?
Since water is a liquid, it does not have any definite shape. It takes on the shape of its container.
What is the definition of fluid?
A fluid is any matter that has no fixed shape, can flow and takes the shape of its container.
Substances that assume the shape of their container but do not have a definite size?
Substances that assume the shape of their container but do not have a definite size is water or any liquid substance.
What is the shape of a volatile liquid?
The shape of a volatile liquid, or any other liquid, will be that of a fixed volume that takes on the shape of its container.
A fluid is?
A fluid is any gas or liquid that flows, can be poured, and takes the shape of its container.
What is a form of matter that does not have a definite shape or definite volume?
Water does not have a definate shape or volume because it takes the shape of any container it is put into.
Why can liquids take the shape of the bottom of its container?
as there are less inter molecular space between them they do not have a definite shape and so the liquids do not have any shape so if we pore it to any container it takes the shape of the container.
