Liquids adopt the shape of the part of the container that they occupy. Gases adopt the entire shape and volume of their container.

What propertys do solids and liquids not share?

Solids have a definite shape and volume, while liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container. Liquids can flow and take the shape of the container they are in, unlike solids which have a fixed shape.


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.


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.


One property of liquids is that they have a definite?

One property of liquids is that they have a definite volume, meaning they occupy a fixed amount of space regardless of the container they are in. However, unlike solids, liquids do not have a definite shape and will take the shape of the container. This ability to flow and conform to the container's shape distinguishes liquids from solids and gases.


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


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 and contrast solids and liquids?

Solids have a definite shape and volume, with particles that are closely packed and have little movement. Liquids, on the other hand, have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, with particles that are more loosely packed and able to move past each other. Liquids flow and can be poured, while solids maintain their shape.


How can you tell solids and liquids apart?

Liquids are malleable, meaning you can shape them, or they can change to fit the shape of the container they are being held in. Solids are basically classified as anything that can not(dramatically) change form or conform to another shape.


Two differences between liquids and solids?

Liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, while solids have a fixed volume and shape. Liquids have higher molecular mobility compared to solids, allowing them to flow and take the shape of their container.


What do Solids liquids and gases have different?

Solids have a definite shape and volume, while liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container. Gases have neither a definite shape nor volume and expand to fill their container.


Do liquids have their own shape?

No, liquids take the shape of the container they are in.
