By volume liquid can occupy the shape of the container ,but has got a fixed volume unless and until subjected to expansion by change in temperature and pressure.

that way it is also compressible.

but on the other hand solid has got fixed volume and fixed shape. it is less compressible.

this is how they are different..

What are the differences in solid liquid and gaseous states of matter?

The differences are in a solid the particles of itusually lines up in an organized pattern. The particles of a liquid move more than they do in the solid state .And in the gas diagram, the particles move around more freely so their volume and shape fit the shape and volume of the container.


What is the relationship between the units of measurement for the volume of a liquid and of a solid liquid?

well a liquid cannot be a solid but i will interpret the question as this: what is the relationship between the units of measurement for the volume of a liquid and a solid? liquid volume- measured in mL solid volume- measured in cm cubed 1 mL=1cm cubed


What is the difference between the volume of metal solid to liquid?

If I understand the question correctly, the answer is that the solid is more dense than the liquid. In other words, the solid takes up less volume than the same mass of liquid.


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 are the differences between a molcule of a liquid and a solid?

An actual single molecule is no different in a gaseous, liquid or solid state. However the thermal (kinetic) energy present in it varies between the states.


What is the difference between the state of matter?

the difference between the three states of matter is that a solid has a definite shape and volume. a liquid does not have a definite shape but does have a definite volume. gas does not have either.


What are the similarities and differences of solid liquid and gases in terms of their shape volume and mass?

beacause the solid has definate shape and volume a liquid has no definate shape a gas like liquid has no definate shape Volume is measured in cubic centimeter milliter (ml) Mass is directly related to the number and types of atoms present in the object


What is difference in volumes between liquid nitrogen and solid nitrogen?

The volume of a liquid is typically smaller than that of the corresponding solid because the molecules are more tightly packed in the solid phase due to the stronger intermolecular forces. In the case of nitrogen, the volume of liquid nitrogen is smaller than that of solid nitrogen because the molecules in liquid nitrogen are more closely packed than in solid nitrogen.


Has a definite volume and shape?

Liquid


How a liquid and a solid different?

A solid has a fixed volume and form. A liquid has a fixed volume but has the form of a container. A gas has not a fixed volume or form.
