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.
-- 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
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 / . . .
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.
because solids have shapes To improve upon the above answer. Solids have a definite shape and size, whereas liquids and gasses do not. Liquids have definite volume, but do not have a definite shape, and gasses have no definite shape or volume.
Solids are, well, solid, and have a definite shape. Liquids do not have a definite shape (but do have a definite volume), and neither do gasses (but they don't have a definite 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.
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
Of its container? Liquids and gasses.
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.
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.
Liquids have a definite volume and an indeffinate shape. A gass has an indefinate volume, and an indefinate shape.
Liquids have definite volume but not shape.
