Liquids have no definite shape; they take the shapes of their containers.
Gases also have no definite shape, they take up any available space.

What is the state of matter in which the volume and shape are of a substance are fixed?

The state of matter in which the volume and shape of a substance are fixed is a solid. In solids, particles are closely packed together and have a fixed arrangement, giving them a definite shape and volume.


What is describes a liquid?

A liquid is of a fixed volume, and may have a variable shape.a substance that can flow, change its shape but not its volume


What are some properties of matter in the liquid phase?

In the liquid phase, matter has a definite volume but no definite shape, allowing it to flow and take the shape of its container. Liquids have high density compared to gases but lower density compared to solids. They exhibit surface tension and viscosity, and their particles are in constant motion but have some degree of attraction to each other.


What are the characteristics of the three most familiar states of matter?

Solid: Particles are tightly packed together, have a fixed shape and volume, and vibrate in place. Liquid: Particles are close together but can flow and take the shape of their container, with a fixed volume. Gas: Particles are far apart, move freely, have no fixed shape or volume, and fill the entire container they are in.


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.
