A solid has a definite shape and volume. (but the volume may change with temperature)
A liquid has a definite volume but not a definite shape, and a gas has no definite volume or shape.
A gas
Gases
A solid has a fixed shape, meaning it maintains a definite form and volume. In contrast, liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, while gases have neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume, expanding to fill the space available.
The type of matter that has a definite shape but no definite volume is a solid. Solids have a fixed shape because their particles are closely packed together, but they can change volume slightly in response to temperature and pressure changes.
Solid, liquid, and gas are the three states of matter. Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither a fixed shape nor volume and fill the container they are in.
liquid is the state of matter having indefinite shape but fixed volume.
The state of matter that maintains both shape and volume when placed in a different container is a solid. Solids have particles that are tightly packed together, giving them a fixed shape and volume.
The volume of a solid is fixed and maintains a specific shape. The volume of a liquid is determined by its container but it takes the shape of the container. The volume of a gas is not fixed and expands to fill the available space.
A solid will maintain its shape when force is applied to it.
liquid is the state of matter having indefinite shape but fixed volume.
The phase of matter with no fixed shape but fixed volume is a liquid. Liquids take the shape of their container but maintain a constant volume because the particles are close together but can move past each other.
