What state of matter like a solid has a definite shape
Solid
Liquids have no shape, but a defined volume
Liquid. You can measure the exact volume of a liquid but you can put it into containers that changes the shape of the liquid.
The state of matter characterized by definite shape and volume is solid. In a solid, molecules are closely packed together and have a fixed position relative to each other, which gives the substance a defined shape and volume.
Matter that has a definite shape and volume is in the solid state. In solids, the particles are closely packed together and vibrate in fixed positions, which gives them a defined shape. Unlike liquids and gases, solids do not conform to the shape of their container. Examples of solids include ice, wood, and metals.
Solid
A liquid is a state of matter that has a defined volume but no defined shape. In a liquid, particles are close enough to have a fixed volume, but not in a fixed position, allowing the substance to take the shape of its container.
Liquids have no shape, but a defined volume
That would be a liquid.
Liquid. You can measure the exact volume of a liquid but you can put it into containers that changes the shape of the liquid.
"liquid"
Solids. Gas and liquids take the shape of their containers and therefore don't have a definite size or shape
The state of matter characterized by definite shape and volume is solid. In a solid, molecules are closely packed together and have a fixed position relative to each other, which gives the substance a defined shape and volume.
Heat causes substances to change their state because, when heated, the molecules within the substance to move around faster. The faster the molecules bounce about, the weaker they are held together.
liquids are defined as matter that has a indefinite shape but a definite volume
Only solids have a defined, constant shape.
Matter that has a definite shape and volume is in the solid state. In solids, the particles are closely packed together and vibrate in fixed positions, which gives them a defined shape. Unlike liquids and gases, solids do not conform to the shape of their container. Examples of solids include ice, wood, and metals.
