It really depends what type of liquid you have, and its molecular arrangement. For example, a water particle (H2O) would take the shape of one oxygen and two hydrogen. However, in very vague models, water particles, as well as every other type are represented as circles with arrows signifying their movement patterns. In a liquid the particles are fairly tightly packed and are constantly rolling over the top of each other.
The state of matter you are referring to is a liquid. In a liquid, the particles are close together but not in fixed positions, allowing the liquid to take the shape of its container while maintaining a constant volume.
A liquid is a state of matter that has a defined volume but no defined shape. In a liquid, particles are close enough to have a fixed volume, but not in a fixed position, allowing the substance to take the shape of its container.
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.
No state of matter corresponds to this. Solids are the only state with definite shape, but they have a definite volume too.
The two states of matter that take the shape of their container are gases and liquids. Gases have no fixed shape or volume and will expand to fill any container, while liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container.
a liquid... i think
Gas and liquid will take it
yes it can
Both a gas and a liquid will take the shape of its container.
Only liquid. Gas never has a definite volume. Both will always take the shape of their container though.A liquid
Milk and gasoline are examples of liquid matter. They are substances that take the shape of their container and have a definite volume, but not a definite shape.
liquid
The matter state with a definite volume but an indefinite shape is a liquid. Liquids take the shape of their container but maintain a constant volume.
Both a gas and a liquid will take the shape of its container.
Matter in the liquid state can take the shape of a container. However, a liquid has a definite volume. On the other hand, a gas can do both, that is take the shape and volume or size of a container.
Solids are the only phase of matter which have a fixed shape and volume.
Matter in the liquid state can take the shape of a container. However, a liquid has a definite volume. On the other hand, a gas can do both, that is take the shape and volume or size of a container.
