∙ 15y agoThe main property of fluids is that they take the shape of the container. However, when volume has to be taken into account as well, the answer would be gases. Gases are compressed and expanded very naturally, and can take on any volume. Liquids, however, cannot. Answer: Gases.

Does steam have a define shape and volume?
No, like other vapours and gases steam assumes the shape of any container it is enclosed in.
What determines that shape and volume of a gas inside a container?
The container determines the shape.
What determines the shape and volume of a a gas inside a container?
The shape of the containerA property of a gas is that it expands to fill the shape and volume of a container. An exception may be the case where there is more than one gas and the heavier gasses will tend to settle to the bottom of the container.
What doesn't have a definite size and takes the shape of their container?
A gas or a plasma takes on the entire size (volume) and shape of its container. A liquid takes the shape of its container but always has a definite size (volume) and may not completely fill its container.
Compare solids liquids and gases in terms of their shapes and volumes?
Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but no definite shape - they take the shape of their container. Gases have no definite volume and no definite shape - they expand to fill their entire container.
What is the definition for solid and liquid?
A solid has a fixed shape and a fixed volume. A liquid has a fixed volume, but assumes the shape of its container. A gas assumes both the shape and volume of its container.
Which state of matter has volume and flows but no definite shape?
A liquid has a certain volume, flows, and assumes the shape of it's container.
Does gas have volume and shape?
The volume of a sample of liquid is fixed, but may expand or contract with heat. The shape of a liquid is defined by its container. In the absence of gravity, liquids outside a container will assume a generally spherical shape.
When a material is found to have a definite volume but no definite shape when it assumes the shape of the container in which it is placed what is the phase of the material?
Liquid.
Does steam have a define shape and volume?
No, like other vapours and gases steam assumes the shape of any container it is enclosed in.

Does a solid substance has both a shape and volume of its own?
Yes. Liquids take the shape of a container but not the volume, and gases take the shape and volume of a container.
What determines that shape and volume of a gas inside a container?
The container determines the shape.
What determines the volume and shape of gas in a container?
The container.
Can a gas change shape and volume?
Yes, they can take the shape and volume of their container.
Does a gas has both the shape and volume of its container?
A gas will expand to fill its container. This gives the gas the shape and volume of its container.
The volume of a gas is the same as the volume of its?
The volume and shape of a gas are determined by its volume and shape of its container.
