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 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.
What type of matter can change shape and volume?
The matter that can change shape and volume is gas.
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.
What are the basic states of matter compare and contrast the properties of the diffrrent states?
The basic states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. Solids have a definite shape and volume, while liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither a definite shape nor volume. Solids have particles closely packed together, liquids have particles that are free to move past each other, and gases have particles that are far apart and move freely.

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.
