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 else can I help you with?
What are the characteristics of the three most familiar states of matter?
Solid: Particles are tightly packed together, have a fixed shape and volume, and vibrate in place. Liquid: Particles are close together but can flow and take the shape of their container, with a fixed volume. Gas: Particles are far apart, move freely, have no fixed shape or volume, and fill the entire container they are in.
What is the state of matter in which the volume and shape are of a substance are fixed?
The state of matter in which the volume and shape of a substance are fixed is a solid. In solids, particles are closely packed together and have a fixed arrangement, giving them a definite shape and volume.
Do solids have a fixed shape and volume?
Yes, solids have a fixed shape and volume. The particles in a solid are closely packed and have strong intermolecular forces that prevent them from moving freely, thus maintaining a fixed shape and volume.
Are pebbles a solid liquid or gas?
Pebbles are solid.
What is the definition for solid and liquid?
A solid is a state of matter characterized by particles that are closely packed together in a fixed arrangement, giving it a definite shape and volume. A liquid is a state of matter where particles are close together but can move past one another, allowing the substance to flow and take the shape of its container.

Can shape separate a solid from a liquid?
Sort of, Solids have a fixed shape, while liquids have no fixed shape.
Does stem has fixed shape?
Yes, of course. A stem is a solid object. So, it has a fixed shape and fixed volume.
Which state of matter maintains a fixed volume and shape?
A solid has a definite shape and volume. (but the volume may change with temperature)A liquid has a definite volume but not a definite shape, and a gas has no definite volume or shape.
Do solid have a fixed shape?
Yes, they have, but liquids don't.
