Takes the shape of the container but not the size?

Gases do not have a definite volume, which means that they can be expanded and compressed, depending on the pressure the gas is under. Gases also do not have a definite shape, so they take the shape of whatever container they are in. Unlike gases, liquids do have a definite volume because they are not easily compressed. However, like gases, liquids take the shape of their container, too. Solids have definite volume and definite shape.


What form of matter has no definite size or shape?

It is called a GAS. Gases have no definite volume (can be compressed) and no definite shape


Which of the three states does not have a definite volume or definite shape?

The answer you're looking for is likely gas. However, liquids CAN be compressed so their volume is not quite as definite as it would seem.


A certain substance a cannot be compressed but takes up the shape of any container in which it is placedwhat can be its physical state?

The substance is likely a liquid. Liquids have definite volume but no definite shape and take the shape of their container. Additionally, liquids are generally considered incompressible compared to gases.


What state of matter has no definite volume no definite shape and the particles move rapidly?

The state of matter that has no definite volume, no definite shape, and where particles move rapidly is gas. In this state, particles are far apart and move freely, allowing gases to expand and fill their containers. Unlike solids and liquids, gases can be compressed and have low densities.

Does liquids have definite volume and shape?

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.


What state of matter has a definite shape but not a definite volume?

The state of matter that has a definite shape but not a definite volume is a solid. Solids have a fixed shape due to the arrangement of particles, but they can still be compressed or expanded slightly.


How many states of matter can be compressed?

One. It is gas as gas does not have a definite shape or volume thus it can be compressed. Liquids do not have a definite shape but it has a definite volume, making it unable to compress. Solids have both a definite shape and volume thus it also cannot be compressed.


Is ice a liquid state?

Ice is a solid.It has a definite volume, definite shape, and cannot be compressed, which are properties of solids.


What state or matter that has no definite volume and no definite shape is?

liquidNO! Liquid has a definite volume (at a stable temperature) which is why hydraulic systems work. GASES have no definite volume and no definite shape - the take the form and volume of their container - and can be expanded or compressed.


Which sate of matter can be compressed and can flow?

A gas is a state of matter that can be compressed and can flow. Gases have no definite shape or volume, allowing them to take the shape of their container and flow easily. They can be compressed to reduce their volume.
