The matter that takes the shape but not the volume of its container is a gas. Gases have particles that are far apart and move freely, allowing them to fill the shape of their container but not have a fixed volume.

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 form of matter takes the shape of the container but can't be compressed?

A gas is a form of matter that takes the shape of its container but cannot be easily compressed. Gas particles are widely spaced and move freely, allowing them to fill the entire volume of the container they are in.


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.


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.


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 Of Matter Takes The Shape Of It's Container?

Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter (with solid, liquid and plasma being the other states). It has the distinction of taking both the shape and the volume of the container that it is in. If you want to include plasma, that too will expand - acting like a gas. So will supercritical fluids which might be considered gases by some definitions, but not by others..
