Solids do have definite volume, as it is always the same shape anywhere, even in space, but not the same mass, as 1 pound on earth is a lot less on the moon. Hope this helps a bit.
'''Oops''', there is a slight mistake in the above answer - a very common mistake among students of basic physics. Mass and weight are not the same thing. Mass is the amount of substance an object contains and is the same no matter where the thing is, earth or moon. Weight, on the other hand, is measured by the gravitational pull on the object and changes from one planet to another. Therefore, solids have a definite (fixed) volume '''and''' mass.

What is the phase of matter not having definite volume or definite shape?
Of the three classic phases or states (solid, liquid, gas), gases do not have a defined shape or volume, which is determined by the shape and volume of their containers. A sample will have a defined mass, and the volume into which that mass is confined determines the pressure of the gas.
A material can be classified as a liquid if?
A liquid is a matter as it occupies space and has mass.
What is a property of both the solid state and the liquid state?
Both gases and liquids have an indefinite shape - they will take the shape of the container they are held in. The difference between gases and liquids is that liquids have a definite volume while a gas does not.
Should the shape of an object be considered a property of the material?
The object is still the same as it was before, so it should not be considered a property of the material. Properties include desity, mass, and reactivity. You would not be able to tell copper and iron apart based on their shape, only by color, density, and so on, so shape should not be considered a property of the material.
Does liquid have a definite mass?
yes you measure it with volume.
Which have definite mass and volume but no definite shape?
Liquids have a definite mass and volume, but not a shape.
Which state of matter has?
A liquid has no definite shape but a definite volume, a solid has a definite volume and a definite volume, and a gas has no definite shape or volume.
Does liquid have definite mass?
yes! liquid has definite volume but not a definite shape..
In which state of matter does water have definite shape and volume?
liquid does have definite volume, but it does not have a definite shape.Only ice (solid) phase has a definite volume and shapeIce( solid state), since solids are the only state of matter that has a definite mass volume and shape

What are the characteristics o f solid?
- definite shape - has volume - has mass
What are. Characteristics of a solid?
They occupy space, have mass, have a definite volume and shape
What is something that doesn't have definite shape or volume mass or container?
They all have definite shape ,volume ,and definite mass. A solid is a figure something that doesn't change when you move it like if you move a table out of a classroom it wouldn't. A liquid takes the place of its container.
What do liquids and solids have in common?
They both have definite volume and mass but no definite shape.
Is a chewed bubble gum a solid?
yes it is. The definition of a solid is a substance with a definite mass and volume and shape. A liquid has a definite mass and volume, but changes shape to fit that of it's container. A gas has a definite mass, but no definite shape or volume. While chewed bubble gum is a little amorphous, it is technically a solid because, while it does change shape a little, it does not continue to stretch itsef thin until it has reached the edges of it's container (i.e. the room you are in or the furthest reaches of your mouth). Also, the chewed gum has a definite shape, it is an ameboid shape, but it is a shape nontheless.
Which of the following is not a physical property of a liquid indefinite volume indefinite shape not easily compressed definite mass?
not easily compressed definite mass i think
What are the three properties of a solid?
they have a definite shape, the molecules are packed tight and it has volume and mass
