What is a form of matter that does not have a definite shape or definite volume?

Water does not have a definate shape or volume because it takes the shape of any container it is put into.


What is a form of matter without a definite shape or volume?

A gas is a form of matter that does not have a definite shape or volume. Gases expand to fill the container they are in and take the shape of the container.


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.


If a substance is a liquid A. it has a definite shape but no definite volume B. it has a definite volume and a definite shape C it is readily compressible D it has a definite volume but no defin?

The answer is D, liquids are extremely difficult to compress and do not not have a definite shape, but a constant volume


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

A liquid has a definite volume (which can change with temperature), but takes the shape of its container.A Liquid is the state that has no definite shape, since the atoms can move around, it is therefore able to form itself to the shape of its container. However, since the atoms still have weak bonds to one another, it cannot fill up a closed container by stretching out the atoms. (The form of matter that does this is a gas.)* Liquids can be very slightly compressed, but not to the extent of gases.---There are 3 phases of matter. Solids, liquids and gases. Solids have a definite shape and a definite volume. Liquids do not have a definite shape but do have a definite volume. Gases do not have a definite shape as they can "flow", and they do not have a definite volume as they can fill a container by changing in pressure (density).

What state or matter that has no definite volume and no definite shape is?

liquidNO! Liquid has a definite volume (at a stable temperature) which is why hydraulic systems work. GASES have no definite volume and no definite shape - the take the form and volume of their container - and can be expanded or compressed.


Does matter in liquid form have definite size and shape?

No, but it does have a definite volume.


Is matter with a definite volume but without a definite shape gas?

Yes it has neither.


Matter that has a definite volume and definite shape is a?

The solid phase of matter has a definite volume and shape. Gas form has neither volume, nor shape, and liquid form has volume, but conforms to the shape of the container it is put in.


What kind of state of matter has a definite volume but no definite shape?
