Definite volume? Yes, pretty much so; lead isn't compressible, so a particular mass or weight of lead will take a specific volume.

Shape? No. Lead is ductile when solid, so you can easily bend or shape it when solid, and it has a moderate melting temperature making it easy to melt to liquid, and then pour or cast the shape you want.

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.


How do solids behave when put into a container?

A solid will stay compact. The molecules in the solid will be so tight that the solid will keep it's shape. Think of putting a brick in a cup, the brick will stay the same shape as opposed to putting water in a cup, which will take the shape of the cup.


What has a definite shape and volume because its particles are packed tightly together and stay fixed in position?

A solid has a definite shape and volume because its particles are packed tightly together and have strong intermolecular forces that prevent them from moving freely.


Does a solid have a fixed shape?

A gas is a substance whose molecules are in constant, rapid, random motion. As a result, a gas will spread out and take on the shape and volume of whatever container it is in-whether a jar, a room, or the atmosphere! This is very different from a liquid or a solid. The molecules in a liquid do not move as fast as those in a gas. A liquid can take on the shape of its container but will keep the same volume, no matter what container it is in. The molecules in a solid just vibrate in place. That is why a solid will retain both its shape and its volume.


What would happen to density if the amount of sample increased?

If the amount of sample increased while the volume remained the same, the density would increase since the mass would be higher with the same volume. Density is calculated as mass divided by volume, so an increase in mass while keeping volume constant would result in higher density.

If a liquid is poured from a tall bottle into a shallow pan does its shape or volume changes?

The shape can change, the volume will stay the same.


Does changing the shape or size of an object change its density?

No, changing the shape or size of an object does not change its density. Density is determined by the mass of an object divided by its volume, so as long as the mass and volume remain constant, the density will stay the same.


Why does a pool of water have the same density as a cup of water?

The density of water remains constant regardless of the volume or shape of the container it is in. This is because the mass of water and its volume stay the same, resulting in the same density for both a pool and a cup of water.


Do lakes stay the same shape?

all lakes don't stay the same shape some water drifft off and some evaperate.


Do solids stay the same shape?

Yes, solids typically maintain their shape because their particles are tightly packed and have strong intermolecular forces holding them together. This allows them to maintain a fixed volume and shape unless acted upon by an external force.


If you reshape a block of clay would its volume stay the same?

Yes, if you reshape a block of clay, its volume will remain the same, assuming no clay is added or removed during the process. The mass and density of the clay are conserved, so while its shape may change, the overall volume stays constant.


If you cut a cube in half will the combined volume of the 2 halves be more less or the same?

The volume will stay the same, because you are not taking any volume away, nor adding any. Therefore the volume will stay the same.

When a gas is cooled does it's shape stay the same?

A gas has the property that it always fills the (closed) container it is in. And it always therefore has the shape of the container. Cool it too much and it may liquify, or solidiffy. And then it's not a gas. If you cool a free atmosphere around a planet, gravity ensures that it largely has the same shape.
