That is true in the sense that when a given quantity of material changes phase (by melting, freezing, boiling, etc.) the amount of mass does not change. Of course, mass may escape. When water boils, the vapor will escape into the air unless you have special equipment to collect it.

Gasses in a sealed flexible container (like a balloon) also occupy fixed volumes at a given temperature and pressure.

What a solid liquid and gas have in common?
take up space and have particles
What is the state of matter in which a material has a definite shape and definite volume?
A solid has a definite shape, and a definite volume.
Which state of matter will fill a container completely?
All four states of matter could fill a container completely if there was enough of them.That said the properties of the 3 states of matter (that you need to know about for high/secondary school) are:Solid - Fixed shape and fixed volume.Liquid - No fixed shape but fixed volume.Gas - No fixed shape, no fixed volume and fill the space available.A large enough volume of liquid or solid could fill a container completely but only the smallest amount of a gas will fill the whole container.
What is the three dimensional space all matter occupies?
The three dimensional space matter occupies is called it's volume.
All matter has what?
All matter has volume; it takes up space whether it is solid, liquid, or gas.
Do all phases of matter have a fixed mass?
true
What happens to the density of matter when heated?
In almost all cases, the matter expands. Density = mass / volume. When volume increases, the density decreases, because the mass is fixed.
What is thermal expansion and contraction of matter?
Thermal expansion will occur in just about all of the 15 or more phases of matter: whether it be solid, liquid, gas, etc.
What kinds of matter are fixed?
all matter is
Which properties do all liquids share?
Fixed volume and fixed shape
What a solid liquid and gas have in common?
take up space and have particles
Do all Liquids have a fixed volume nd takes the shape of its container?
All liquids have a fixed volume and takes the shape of its Container.

Is solid and physical the same?
No, all phases of matter are physical.
What is the state of matter in which a material has a definite shape and definite volume?
A solid has a definite shape, and a definite volume.
Wax like all matter comes in many phases. What are the three possible phases?

What matter always has volume and mass?
