Compare 3 states of matter in terms of volume and shape?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The shape and volume of a solid are the shape and volume of whatever piece

you chop off and start out with.

The volume of a liquid is whatever volume you start out with, but its shape

is the shape of the bottom of whatever container you put it into.

The volume and shape of a gas are the volume and shape of whatever container

you put it into.

Answer 3

Gasses - Indefinite shape and indefinite volume

Liquids - indefinite shape, definite volume
