State of matter with no definite shape but with definite volume?

No state of matter corresponds to this. Solids are the only state with definite shape, but they have a definite volume too.


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

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.


Why liquid has no definite shape but has definite volume?

Yes, liquids have a definite volume but not a definite shape, compared to solids that have a definite shape and a definite volume or gasses that have neither a definite shape or volume.


Something that keeps the same volume but fills the shape of its container is called?

A substance that keeps the same volume but takes the shape of its container is known as a liquid. Liquids have a fixed volume but can move and adjust to the shape of the container they are in.


How would you compare and contrast liquid water and ice in terms of how definite their shapes and volumes are?

Liquid water has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container, while ice has a definite shape and volume due to its rigid structure. Ice molecules are arranged in a fixed pattern, causing ice to maintain its shape, whereas liquid water molecules have more freedom of movement, allowing them to take the shape of their container while maintaining a constant volume.

Does a solution of sulfuric acid have a definite volume and shape?

A solution of sulfuric acid will have the same properties as any other liquid. It will have a definite volume but its shape will be that of its container.


Do Gases have a definite shape and volume true or false?

False. Gases in a container take the shape of the container. The volume of a gas increases with temperature and inversely with pressure, except when in a closed container where volume remains the same as the volume of the container and the temperature and pressure will vary.


What form of matter has no definite shape but has a definite volume?

The state of matter that has definite volume, but indefinite shape is the liquid state. A solid constantly has the same shape and volume. A wooden block (solid) will not change its shape or volume unless it is melted, but that would involve changing it from solid to liquid. A liquid constantly has the same volume, but its shape changes. Find a cylindrical container that has the same volume as a rectangular container. Fill the cylindrical container with water. Then, pour the water to the rectangular container. The shape of the water changed from cylindrical to rectangular and the volume remained the same, unless some water was dropped in the process. A gas has changing shape and volume. Find a small container full of a colored gas. Open in it inside a room. The gas will spread all over the room. Its volume changed from the volume of the container to the size of the room. Its shape has changed from the shape of the container to the shape of the room.


Which term describes a state of matter that has a definite volume but no definite shape?

Liquids because when they are put into different beakers their shapes might change but their volume will always be the same.

How are liquid mass and liquid volume alike?

Liquids, like solids have a definite volume. While liquids don't have a definite shape, they can take the shape of a container which can be measured the same way as with solids.

Matter that a definite volume and a definite shape is?

A Solid because it has the same volume and shape unless you change its state of matter, it wont have the same volume or shape.


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.


What has the tone volume but takes the shape of its container?

The answer to this riddle is a liquid. Liquids have a definite volume but no fixed shape, adapting to take the shape of their container. This property allows them to fill any space they occupy while maintaining the same volume regardless of the container's shape. Examples include water, juice, or any other fluid.


Does a liquid have a definate volume?

Yes, a liquid has a definite volume because its particles are close together but can move and flow freely within the container it is placed in. This allows liquids to take the shape of their container while maintaining a constant volume.
