Compare and contrast solids and liquids?
Liquids are easier to manipulate than solids are. Also, liquids generally conform to the shape of the container in which they are placed, while solids do not.
Solids and liquids both have fixed?
Solids and liquids both have fixed volumes... in that if they are put into a container, they will not expand to fill the container. Gases on the other hand, do the exact opposite - they expand to fill their containers, thus not having fixed volumes.
Compare solids liquids and gases in terms of their shapes and volumes.?
Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but no definite shape - they take the shape of their container. Gases have no definite volume and no definite shape - they expand to fill their entire 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.
Do liquids and solids diffuse easily?
Liquids do, but solids do not.

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.
What could be placed in a container that would not take on the shape of the container?
Gases, Liquids and solids are sometimes contrasted by the fact that liquids and gasses will take on the shape of the container that they are placed in while solids do not.
How are measurements of volume for solids and liquids alike?
What physical properties of liquid that make them stick in a container?
The intermolecular forces in liquids are not so strong as in solids and liquids take the form of the container.
Which of the following has a fixed volume?
solids and liquids
What does not take the shape of the container it is in?
Solids conform to your needs. [As distinct from gases and liquids.]
Fixed volume but match their container?
Solids are rigid and incompressible. Liquids have fixed volume but match their container. Gases completely fill their container.
Do solids and liquids change in size when taking the shape of its container?
No liquids and solids do not change size the volume, mass,density, and weight stay the same they just change shape.
