Gas does not retain its shape; instead, it takes the shape of its container. Unlike solids and liquids, gas particles are widely spaced and move freely, allowing them to expand and fill any available space. This property means that gases have no fixed volume or shape and can compress or expand based on the conditions they are in.

What is an elastic band solid liquid or gas?
An elastic band is a solid. It is made of rubber, which is a type of polymer that retains its shape after being stretched or compressed. When you pull an elastic band, it deforms but returns to its original shape when released, demonstrating the properties of a solid material. Unlike liquids or gases, solids maintain a fixed shape and volume.
What has no definite volume and no definite shape?
gas
Does helium have a shape?
Helium is a gas and will take the shape of the container it is taken
Describe what happens to the shape and volume of a solid a liquid and gas when you place each into separate closed containers.?
When a solid is placed in a closed container, it retains its shape and volume because its particles are tightly packed and fixed in place. A liquid, on the other hand, takes the shape of the container while maintaining a constant volume, as its particles are close together but can move past one another. In the case of a gas, it expands to fill the entire container, changing both its shape and volume, as its particles are far apart and move freely.
Does iron take the shape of it's container?
When molten or gaseous, yes.
What phase of matter has no definite shape?
liquid, gas, and plasma phases must be contained to remain in the same shape. Solid retains it's shape without containment.
Which state of matter has a shape of its own?
A solid retains it's shape.
What is the physical state that retains a definite shape but a variable shape?
Liquid
Does a solid retains shape or takes the shape of its container?
Solids retain their shape. It is liquids, gasses, and plasmas that take the shape of their containers.
Does gas have a shape of its own?
gas have no shape of its own'''
What are some characteristics of a solid?
retains fixed shape not easily compresable does not flow easily
The smallest group of particles in a crystal that retains the shape of the crystal is called the?
Unit Cell
Would you name some solids?
A solid is an object that retains it's shape, and doesn't alter to fit the shape of it's container (if it's in a container), as in not liquid or gas. Example: Wood, most metals, plastic, rock. Anything that when you hold it doesn't flow through your fingers is a solid.
What is an elastic band solid liquid or gas?
An elastic band is a solid. It is made of rubber, which is a type of polymer that retains its shape after being stretched or compressed. When you pull an elastic band, it deforms but returns to its original shape when released, demonstrating the properties of a solid material. Unlike liquids or gases, solids maintain a fixed shape and volume.
What retains a fixed volume and shape rigid - paricles locked into place?
A solid retains a fixed volume and shape because its particles are tightly packed and held together by strong forces between them, preventing them from moving freely. This rigidity allows solids to maintain their shape when subjected to external forces.
Can a gas gas change shape?
Gasses have no definite shape and their "shape" is defined by the container that encloses them
Does a gas have a indefinite shape?
it doesnt have a shape if youre talking about the liquid gas it takes the shape it is in
