Is shape definite or indefinite with liquid?

Shape is indefinite with liquids as they take the shape of the container they are placed in, conforming to its boundaries. Liquids do not have a fixed shape of their own.


Do plasma's take up a definite amount of space?

Plasmas do not have a definite volume or shape because their particles are in constant motion and can easily expand to fill any container they are in. This makes plasmas different from solid, liquid, and gas states of matter which have defined shapes and volumes.


What phases of matter have a definite shape?

Only a solid has a definite shape. It also has a definite volume. A liquid has a definite volume, but an indefinite shape. A gas has both an indefinte shape and volume. Same for plasma. Hope this helps!


The four states of matter Describe each and give an example?

The four states of matter are solid (ice), liquid (water), gas (oxygen), and plasma (lightning). Solids have a definite shape and volume, liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, gases have neither definite shape nor volume, and plasmas have neither definite shape nor volume and conduct electricity.


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.
