Liquid.
Picture water in a glass. Now pour the water out of the cup and into a fishbowl. Now pour it into a party hat. Now pour it onto the floor (remember, only in your mind!) The shape of the liquid depends on the container its in, it has no inherent shape of its own. However, the amount of space actually occupied by the liquid (defined as volume) never actually changes. If you had 1 liter of water in a soda bottle, it would still be 1 liter whether it was in a bucket, or on the floor.
This is in contrast to a solid which also has a specific volume, but also has a specific shape on its own, or a gas, which has no specific shape, but also no specific volume. The volume of a gas can be changed depending on pressure (ie: compressed air). On a related note, liquids are also described as incompressible, because their volumes can't be changed by changing pressures.

∙ 13y agoLiquids do not have a set shape, as they flow.
Gases can freely move, but do not have a volume as they move freely.
Solids have a shape and has a volume.
The answer is liquids

What state of matter has definite shape and definite volume?
The state of matter that has definite shape and definite volume is called solid.
What is the phase of matter with no fixed shape but fixed volume?
Liquids have no definite shape; they take the shapes of their containers.Gases also have no definite shape, they take up any available space.
In which state of matter does water have definite shape and volume?
liquid does have definite volume, but it does not have a definite shape.Only ice (solid) phase has a definite volume and shapeIce( solid state), since solids are the only state of matter that has a definite mass volume and shape
Which of matter has a definite shape and a definite volume?
No. Only matter in its solid state has a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume but no definite shape, and gases have no definite shape or volume.
What matter state is definite volume and an indefinite shape?
This is the liquid state.
In what physical state are substances with a definite shape and volume?
solids
What physical state is described as having a variable shape and variable volume?
This is a gas.
What The physical state of matter that has a fixed volume but takes the shape of its container?
hey baby
Which physical state is described as having a variable shape and variable volume?
The volume of a gas is subject to change with temperature and pressure.
What are the 5 physical properties of matter?
the 5 physical properties are color, volume ,texture, mass, and shape
What state of matter has no definitive state of volume and shape?
gas has no shape and no definite volume. liquids have no definite shape, but a definite volume, and solids have a definite volume and a definite shape
Which state of matter has no shape but has volume?
The liquid state of matter has volume but no definite shape.
Is a solid a physical state of matter?
A solid is a state of matter has a definite volume and definite shape.
When an object has changed shape state and volume and density and no new substance is formed what type of change is it?
This is a physical change.
Why is definite volume a physical property in a liquid state?
Liquids are capable of changing shape, but they will always have a constant volume. If one were to pour a liquid into a random container, it would conform to the container, but not change physical volume in the process.
What state of matter has a definite shape but not a definite volume?
There is no such state of matter. Solid has a definite shape and volume, liquid has a definite volume but not a definite shape, gases have neither a definite shape nor a definite volume.
What state of matter has no shape but has definite volume?
Liquids have definite volume but not shape.
