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.

Which physical state takes the shape of its container but always takes up the same amount of space?
The physical state that takes the shape of its container but always occupies the same amount of space is a liquid. Liquids have a definite volume, meaning they do not change their volume regardless of the container they are in. However, they will conform to the shape of the container, filling it from the bottom up.
How does pressure due to a liquid held in a container vary with depth amount and shape and size of the container?
Pressure due to a liquid increases with depth because of the weight of the liquid above it. The pressure in a liquid is the same at a given depth regardless of the shape or size of the container, as long as the depth is the same. The shape and size of the container would only affect the pressure at different depths in the liquid.
How are liquid mass and liquid volume alike?
Liquids, like solids have a definite volume. While liquids don't have a definite shape, they can take the shape of a container which can be measured the same way as with solids.
Why does a solid maintain its shape regardless of its container?
A gas is a substance whose molecules are in constant, rapid, random motion. As a result, a gas will spread out and take on the shape and volume of whatever container it is in-whether a jar, a room, or the atmosphere! This is very different from a liquid or a solid. The molecules in a liquid do not move as fast as those in a gas. A liquid can take on the shape of its container but will keep the same volume, no matter what container it is in. The molecules in a solid just vibrate in place. That is why a solid will retain both its shape and its volume.
Does a solution of sulfuric acid have a definite volume and shape?
A solution of sulfuric acid will have the same properties as any other liquid. It will have a definite volume but its shape will be that of its container.
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.
Something that keeps the same volume but fills the shape of its container is called?
A substance that keeps the same volume but takes the shape of its container is known as a liquid. Liquids have a fixed volume but can move and adjust to the shape of the container they are in.
What has different shape But has the same volume in a container?
liquid
Which physical state takes the shape of its container but always takes up the same amount of space?
The physical state that takes the shape of its container but always occupies the same amount of space is a liquid.

However, they will conform to the shape of the container, filling it from the bottom up.
What has different shape but the same volume in any container?
liquid
A liquid take the shape of it container and keeps the same what?
volumen
How does pressure due to a liquid held in a container vary with depth amount and shape and size of the container?
Pressure due to a liquid increases with depth because of the weight of the liquid above it. The pressure in a liquid is the same at a given depth regardless of the shape or size of the container, as long as the depth is the same. The shape and size of the container would only affect the pressure at different depths in the liquid.
Does the density of a liquid change with the shape of a container?
No. the density is a characteristic of the liquid itself and not dependant on the container holding the liquid. Think of it this way: would the boiling point of a liquid change with the shape of a container? Another thought: think of a very rich, dense chocolate cake, as opposed to a very light angel food cake. You can have a very thin slice of the chocolate cake, or a ridiculously decadent slab. both pieces have the same quality of denseness, even if one is much more fun to eat.
Which state of matter keeps the same volume but changes shape when it changes container?
The state of matter that keeps the same volume but changes shape when it changes container is a liquid. Liquids do not have a fixed shape but take the shape of their container due to their ability to flow and fill the container.
Why does a liquid have a definite volume but gas does not?
Gas will always keep expanding until it fills the entire shape and volume of whatever container you put it in. Liquid won't do that. It just lays there in the bottom. It takes the shape of the container, but keeps the same volume it had when you poured it in there.
A liquid takes the shape of its container and keeps the same volume?
Due to the constant motion of the particles in a liquid, the particles could theoretically keep moving so that the liquid never takes a form. But putting the liquid into a container effectively throws a huge wall in front of the moving particles that they cannot get past. the particles hit the sides of the container and change direction. The liquid then remains in that shape despite the fact that its particles are still moving (hitting the sides of the container). Because a liquid has stronger intermolecular forces than gases, the liquid stays in liquid form and does not just evaporate once it is put into a container and its particles hit an obstacle.
What happens to the volume of a liquid when it is poured into a container with a different shape?
Well, honey, the volume of the liquid stays the same no matter what shape container you pour it into. It's like trying to fit into a new pair of Spanx - your size doesn't change, just the way it's all squished in there. So, whether it's a cylinder, a cube, or a unicorn-shaped container, that liquid ain't gonna magically multiply or disappear.
