Talking about the three "classical" states of matter, solids and liquids have a more or less fixed volume - they can be considered incompressible for most practical purposes - whereas a gas will fill up any container where you put it in.
Matter is defined as anything that has mass and volume. Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, while volume measures the space that the object occupies. Both properties are essential for distinguishing matter from non-matter, such as light or energy, which do not possess these characteristics.
This is a solid.
Liquids have no shape, but a defined volume
All states of matter - solid, liquid, and gas - have mass and volume. Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, while volume is the amount of space it occupies. Plasma, the fourth state of matter, also has mass and volume.
At room temperature, three common states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. Solids, like ice or metals, have a fixed shape and volume. Liquids, such as water, take the shape of their container while maintaining a constant volume. Gases, like air, fill their container and have neither a fixed shape nor a defined volume.
"liquid"
liquids are defined as matter that has a indefinite shape but a definite volume
Matter is defined as anything that has mass and occupies a volume. It can be in four states: Solid, Liquid, Gas, or Plasma (Like in the Stars, or the Sun). All matter is composed of atoms.
They are called the states of matter.
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 and solids are the states of matter that occupy a definite volume. Gases have neither a definite volume nor shape.
This is a solid.
Liquids have no shape, but a defined volume
There are two states of matter that has no definite volume or shape. They are a gas and plasma. Solid matter has a definite shape and volume.
No. Only matter in its solid state has a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume but no definite shape, and gases have no definite shape or volume.
The state of matter is actually to states of matter. Solid and liquid are the states of matter that have a volume,(liquid) and shape(solid).
All states of matter - solid, liquid, and gas - have mass and volume. Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, while volume is the amount of space it occupies. Plasma, the fourth state of matter, also has mass and volume.
