What else can I help you with?
A substance that has a fixed volume and a fixed shape?
It sounds like you are studying liquids, solids and gases.A liquid doesn't have a definite shape; it will shape like any container you pour it in.A gas doesn't have a definite volume; you can keep it at high pressure or low pressure and it will squeeze.A solid is the third type of physical state.
What state of matter does not change its shape or volume?
This is a liquid. Note that the volume of a liquid will change a bit with temperature, but remains relatively the same. Also note that science teachers are fond of saying that a liquid takes the shape of its container, which is pretty much the same as saying it has no fixed shape.
How is energy related to the change of state and the forces between molecules?
Energy is related to random and nonrandom states of matter in that all matter and energy tend toward a random state. Nonrandom energy can be directed to keep matter into a desired state, but will ultimately fail.
Does vapour keep its volume?
No, vapor does not keep its volume. When a substance changes from a liquid to a gas, it expands to fill the available space, so the volume of vapor will vary based on the conditions in which it is contained.
What are the 3 properties of liquids?
liquids freeze and boil.liquids:Do not keep their shape, they take the shape of the container they are inFlowCannot be compressed (keep the same volume)Liquids are used where we need something to flow e.g. for making a drink, or when we need something to take up the shape of a container such as a mould. A good example of this is making a jelly. The jelly (solid) has to be turned into a liquid (in this case by dissolving) so that it takes up the shape of the mould. It is then left to set (i.e. go solid again) so that it keeps its shape when removed from the mould.
What are the characteristics of solids?
Solids have definite shape and volume, meaning they maintain their shape and do not flow like liquids or gases. The particles in solids are tightly packed together and have strong intermolecular forces, giving them a fixed structure. Solids are not easily compressed due to the limited space between particles.
Dose water have a definite volume?
Yes, water is a liquid and any given amount of liquid will contain the same volume. Although does not keep its definition shape. Meinert
What the state of matter that keep the shape and volume when it is placed in a different container?
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.
Why liquid has no definite shape but has definite volume?
Yes, liquids have a definite volume but not a definite shape, compared to solids that have a definite shape and a definite volume or gasses that have neither a definite shape or volume.
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.
Does solid takes the shape and volume of its container?
Solids have a definite shape and volume, meaning they do not take the shape or volume of their container. The particles in a solid are tightly packed and have strong intermolecular forces, which allow them to maintain their shape and volume. Unlike liquids and gases, solids do not flow to fill the shape of their container.
What are four general properties of matter?
Can only think of three:1. Matter occupies space and therefore has a volume.2. Matter has mass.3. Matter consists of atoms and molecules. (disputable, plasma?)Possible answer4. Matter consists of the building blocks of atoms: protons, neutrons and electrons; which are in turn made up of quarks and gluons.Other possible answer:Matter has gotmassvolumegravitytemperature (energy?)
Why can you squash gases?
In solids and liquids the molecules are already very close together so they can't be squeezed together much more than that. In a gas molecules are very spread out so they can be compressed .
Are particles in this state of matter keep their shape occupy a fixed volume and vibrate in a fixed position a liquid?
Nope, that's a solid.
which type of matter has an indefinite shape and an indefinite volume?
Gas is the type of matter that has an indefinite shape and an indefinite volume. Gas molecules move freely and have enough energy to overcome any forces trying to keep them together, allowing them to expand to fill any container.
What are some properties of solids?
-Slow particles (don't move as much as other basic states' particles)-Keep their shape unless they are broken-Maintain the same volume-Do not flow-Denser than liquids or gasesOkay 5, but I was feeling generous
