Special properties of liquid?
A liquid is defined as something that has a constant volume but conforms to the shape of its container. This is different from a gas which has variable volume and conforms to the shape of its container. It is also different from a solid which has a constant volume and does not change to fit the shape of its container.
How are gasses and liquids similar in shape and volume?
ANSWER unlike solids, both liquids and gases can change their shape to fit the container in which they are held. however, gases can also change volume unlike liquids.
What does it mean if a state of matter has no definite shape?
Think of it this way: a solid will not form into its container. (ex. a brick wont fit in a container smaller than it) therefore it has a definite shape. A liquid will conform into a a container, so it it considered that forms of matter other than solids (like gases, liquids, and plasmas) have no definite shape.
Which state has a shape of its own?
the answer is that the shape it own because the state make it answer
How does the induced fit model help to explain non-competitive inhibition?
The induced fit model is the theory that instead of enzymes and substrates fitting exactly together, as in the lock and key model, the enzyme changes shape around the substrate to bind with it. Non-competitive inhibition is where the inhibitor does not fit into the active site, but into another site on the enzyme instead, which changes the shape of the active site.
What changes shape and volume to fit a container?
A gas.
What changes shape but doesn't change volume?
A gas can change shape but it doesn't change volume, a liquid also changes shape but doesn't change volume.
Can a liquids volume change no matter what type a containor its in?
No. The liquid's shape changes to fit the container it's in, but the volume doesn't change.
What type of matter can change shape and volume?
The matter that can change shape and volume is gas.
What is matter that has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container?
A liquid. A gas has no definite volume, as it's volume is whatever the volume of the container it is in happens to be. A solid, by it's nature of being solid, will not take on the shape of it's container.
Does gas have volume and shape?
The volume of a sample of liquid is fixed, but may expand or contract with heat. The shape of a liquid is defined by its container. In the absence of gravity, liquids outside a container will assume a generally spherical shape.
Does a gas has both the shape and volume of its container?
Yes, a gas will take the shape and volume of its container as it fills the space available to it. Gas molecules are free to move and expand so they will evenly distribute themselves to fit the container.

What State Of Matter Takes The Shape Of It's Container?
Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter (with solid, liquid and plasma being the other states). It has the distinction of taking both the shape and the volume of the container that it is in. If you want to include plasma, that too will expand - acting like a gas. So will supercritical fluids which might be considered gases by some definitions, but not by others..
Which state will fit into a container of any shape and size?
A liquid state will fit into a container of any shape and size, as it takes the shape of its container.
What description best describes a solid A. It has a definite shape and volume. B. It has a definite shape but not a definite volume. C. It adjusts to the shape of its container. D. It can flow.?
Answer this question by process of elimination. Let's use a brick as our example. Can it change it's volume? No. Can it adjust to fit the shape of it's container (which basically means 'can it flow')? No. Can it flow? No.
What is a substance that has a fixed volume?
A liquid has a fixed volume but not a fixed shape. If you put it into a graduated cylinder, it will take the shape of the cylinder. If you put it into a bowl, it will take the shape of the bowl.
