Yes, if there is changes on the environment, like pressure (volume decreases) or heat (volume increases). But these changes are not drastic and can only be changed to a certain point and no more.

When you add pressure to a gas or liquid in a closed container, the molecules in the structure go closer together.

Interesting note: when water frozes, the volume increases. But Ice is a solid, so that example fits to this question only to the point when water is about to freeze solid, but has not quite yet. When a liquid changes form, the volumes change drasticly (like to a gas).

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 statekeeps the same shape and volume?

A solid does. Liquids change in shape and gases change in both shape and volume.


What is the kind of matter that can change in shape but not volume?

Liquids. By assuming that temperature and pressure are constant so that volume does not change.


Why can't liquids change volume but gasses can?

The intermolecular strength is higher in liquids than in gases.


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 properties do only gases have?

Gases have the property of indefinite shape and volume, as they expand to fill any container. They also have low density compared to liquids and solids. Gases can be compressed and expand easily when heated.


Why hydraulic oil incompressible?

it is the property of the liquids. all the liquids are incompressible. this is because the change in volume due to pressure is negligible for liquids. in liquids the molecules are almost compact and hence no space for compression.


Why is definite volume a physical property in a liquid state?

Liquids are capable of changing shape, but they will always have a constant volume. If one were to pour a liquid into a random container, it would conform to the container, but not change physical volume in the process.


Do liquids and gas have definite volume?

Liquids have a definite volume but gas do not


How can you change the density?

Gases can change their volume and that causes the density to change. Liquids and solids are practically incompressible. Their volume change under pressure is such a small amount that their density changes very little if at all.


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.


Do Liquids have a fixed but do not have a fixed?

No, liquids do not have a fixed volume - their volume is that of the container
