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.
Liquids have a definite measurable volume but no definite shape. They assume the shape of whatever vessel the liquid is poured into.
The state of matter 1- having definite shape and definite volume issolid. 2- having indefinite shape but definite volume is liquid. and 3- having indefinite shape and indefinite volume is gas, while super heated gas having nuclei in a sea of electrons is plasma,the 4th state of matter the huge amount of plasma is in our nearby, the sun.
because liquids are just copying the shape of its container
I can only tell you that gases are does not have a difinite shape and volume . E.g air / nitrogen / carbon dioxide / water vapour / . . .
-- Gases change their shape and volume to match the container they're in. -- Liquids change their shape but not their volume. -- Solids don't change anything. It doesn't matter if they're in a glass jar, a rubber balloon, or a paper bag. ===== A Gas
Yes, liquids have a definite volume but not a definite shape, compared to solids that have a definite shape and a definite volume or gasses that have neither a definite shape or volume.
Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither a fixed shape nor volume and expand to fill their container. The particles in solids are tightly packed, in liquids they are loosely packed, and in gases they are far apart. Additionally, solids have the strongest intermolecular forces, followed by liquids, then gases.
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.
No, liquids do not have a fixed volume - their volume is that of the container
both are fixed (unless acted upon by outside forces) in a solid; volume is fixed but shape is malleable in a liquid; and both are malleable in a gas.
liquids are Not rigid in shape, but DO have a fixed volume
Solids have a fixed shape and volume, maintaining a definite structure, while liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, flowing and conforming to it. Gases have neither a fixed shape nor volume, filling the space available to them and expanding to fit any container.
They have a definite volume, as they cannot be compressed. However they do not have a definite shape, they will take the shape of whatever they are stored in.
Of its container? Liquids and gasses.
A substance that has a defined volume but an undefined shape is a liquid. Liquids take the shape of their container but maintain a fixed volume.
They both have mass and volume or both are matter (Thats the same thing just worded differently)
Liquids have definite volume but not shape.
