Which state of matter has a definite volume and takes the shape of it's container?
Only liquid. Gas never has a definite volume. Both will always take the shape of their container though.A liquid
What are some properties of matter in the liquid phase?
1. Volume is fixed. 2. Shape is not fixed (takes the shape of container) 3. Incompressible.
What phase of matter has molecules that will defuse to fill their container?
Gas
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.
In what type of matter are atoms most tightly packed?
Matter that has a definite shape and volume is in solid state.
What phase of matter has its volume determined by its container?
A gas. Gas will expand to fill the available space.
The phase of matter in which a substance has no definite shape or volume?
This is a good working description of the gaseous phase of matter. A sample of gas will assume the shape and volume of its container, so the sample has no shape or volume of its own.

What is the phase of matter not having definite volume or definite shape?
Of the three classic phases or states (solid, liquid, gas), gases do not have a defined shape or volume, which is determined by the shape and volume of their containers. A sample will have a defined mass, and the volume into which that mass is confined determines the pressure of the gas.
Matter that has a definite volume and definite shape is a?
The solid phase of matter has a definite volume and shape. Gas form has neither volume, nor shape, and liquid form has volume, but conforms to the shape of the container it is put in.
What are some properties of matter in the liquid phase?
1. Volume is fixed. 2. Shape is not fixed (takes the shape of container) 3. Incompressible.
What phase of matter has a definite size and volume but not a definite shape?
Solids are the only phase of matter which have a fixed shape and volume.
What phase of matter has molecules that will defuse to fill their container?
Gas
What phase of matter has a definite volume and shape?
Solid.
Which phase of matter a variable volume?
Gas.
Matter phase in which a substance will take on the shape of its container but not expand to fill the containe?
liquid phase
What phase of matter has definite volume and shape at a given temperature?
Usually***, solid. The shape is not changed under different pressures, and volume is nearly 100% unaffected by pressure. Liquids flow and change to the container, as does gas.
