Gases will expand or contract to the volume of the container they are in, so gases do. However, liquids have fixed volumes, so they do not. In other words, a liter of water will remain a liter of water whether it is in a bucket or a swimming pool. However, the same quantity of gas may have different volumes depending on the container.

What is Volume of a liquid?
Volume is represented by how much space a solid, liquid, or gas takes up. Liquids can take the shape of any container they are put in. However, unlike a gas, they have a given volume.
Explain why the particles of a liquid are able to pour into a container and then take on the shape of the container?
The particles of a liquid are not chemically bound to the other particles (the particles are generally molecules) around them. They do have some attraction for the other particles, which is why they are a liquid rather than a gas, however, the attraction applies equally to all the particles in the liquid, rather than being a specific attachment to neighboring particles. Consequently the particles move independently of each other, which makes liquids shapeless and able to be poured and to take the shape of a container.
You can pour a liquid into a container with a different shape. Explain why you can do this?
You can pour a liquid into a container with a different shape because liquids are incompressible and take the shape of their container due to their fluid nature. The molecules in a liquid are close together but can move freely, allowing the liquid to adapt to the contours of any container. This property is a fundamental characteristic of fluids, enabling them to fill available space regardless of the container's shape.
How can a liquid take the same shape as the bottom of its container?
Because in a liquid, the molecules are free to slide past each other; thus, the liquid doesn't have a fixed shape. When there is gravity, the individual parts of the liquid will tend to go down - until it meets something that holds it back, like the container.Read more: Why_does_a_liquid_takes_the_shape_of_a_container
Does liquid or gas have a definite volume?
No, gas does not have a definite volume because it expands to fill its container. Liquid, on the other hand, does have a definite volume as it takes the shape of its container but maintains a constant volume.
When a ruler is placed into a clear container what changes take place?
-- Some of the air in the container is forced out, being displaced by the volume of the ruler, and being unable to occupy that same space at the same time. If there is liquid in the container, then the same goes for the liquid. -- If there is liquid in the container, then at least part of the ruler becomes wet.
A liquid take the shape of it container and keeps the same what?
volumen
Does a liquid take up a different amount of space when put in to a different container?
no because it
How much space does a liquid take?
A liquid takes the shape of its container, meaning it will occupy the space available to it. However, it has a definite volume that remains consistent regardless of the container's shape. Liquids do not have a fixed shape but will always conform to the bottom of the container they are in.
Which state of matter has a definite volume and takes the shape of it's container?
Only liquid. Gas never has a definite volume. Both will always take the shape of their container though.A liquid
What is Volume of a liquid?
Volume is represented by how much space a solid, liquid, or gas takes up. Liquids can take the shape of any container they are put in. However, unlike a gas, they have a given volume.
Does a liquid take up space?
Yes. To clarify: Solids : Take up a definite space and have defined shape Liquids : Take up a definite space but have no defined shape Gas : Have no defined space or shape.
The shape of a liquid depends upon its?
The shape of a liquid is determined by the container in which it is placed. Liquids take the shape of their container because their particles are able to flow and move around freely, allowing them to conform to the shape of the container.

Does a liquid take up a different amount of space when it is put in to a different container?
No, the volume of a liquid remains constant regardless of the container it is placed in. However, the shape of the liquid may change to fit the shape of the container, giving the illusion of occupying a different space.
Does the constant motion of the particles in a liquid cause the liquid to take the shape of its container?
Yes, the constant motion of particles in a liquid allows it to flow and take the shape of its container. This is because the particles have enough kinetic energy to move around and fill the available space.
