The 3 common states of matter are taken as Solid, Liquid and Gas or S, L, G. * Solid has a fixed volume and has its own definite shape; cannot be compressed. * Liquid has a fixed volume and takes the shape of its container; cannot be compressed. * Gas has the same volume as its container and fills its container therefore having no shape; gases can be compressed. Solids can not be compressed so we use solids to build houses or sit at a desk made from solids.
Liquids can not be compressed so we use them in hydraulic hoses or sometimes as brake fluid.
Gases can be compressed so when we sit on a nice padded couch we squash the air and make our selves comfortable.
What else can I help you with?
What are the tree states of matter?
The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. Solids have definite shape and volume, liquids have definite volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither definite shape nor volume.
Examples of physical states of matter?
Solid, liquid, gas, plasma, bose-einstein condensate, liquid crystal, supersolid, superfluid, supercritical, ... If you look at the Wikipedia article on "states of matter", it will list about 17 different states of matter.
What state of matter is characterized by having a definite shape and a definite 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).
What are basic states of matter?
The basic states of matter are solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, gases have neither fixed shape nor volume, and plasma is a state of matter where atoms are ionized and electrons are free to move.
Which 2 states of matter take the shape of it container?
The two states of matter that take the shape of their container are gases and liquids. Gases have no fixed shape or volume and will expand to fill any container, while liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container.
Matter with no definite shape or 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.
Which of the states of matter are definite shape and volume?
solid state
Two states of matter that occupy a definite volume?
Liquids and solids are the states of matter that occupy a definite volume. Gases have neither a definite volume nor shape.
Which of matter has a definite shape and a definite 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.
What state of matter is characterized by having a definite shape and a definite 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).
What are solids liquids and gases called?
They are called the states of matter.
Phase in which matter has a definite shape and volume?
a solide has a shape of its shape and volume
What do you call one of the three states of matter that has definite space and definite volume?
That would be called a solid. One of the other two states of matter are liquids, which has a definite volume with no definite shape. Lastly, there is the gases which have no definite shape or volume.
Matter that does not change in shape or volume?
A solid has a definite shape and volume.
What are the four physical states of matter?
The four physical states of matter are solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Solids have a definite shape and volume, liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, gases have neither a definite shape nor volume, and plasma is a state where atoms are ionized and have free-moving electrons.
Is matter with a definite volume but without a definite shape gas?
Yes it has neither.
The three main states of mater?
The three main states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither a fixed shape nor volume and expand to fill their container.
