Why a gas has no definite shape and no definite volume?

The forces of attraction between gas molecules is too weak for them to mantain any kind of definitive shape.( solids only have a shape because there are strong intermolecular forces between solid molecules). The reason for gas molecules not being able to mantain a fixed volume is also the same, the inter atomic forces are too weak to prevent spreading of gas molecules. Your looking for ( gas )


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.

The shape and the size of a toy balloons depend on the kind of gas inside?

Yes, the shape and size of a toy balloon depend on the type of gas inside. Helium makes balloons float, while air or carbon dioxide results in balloons sinking. The gas affects the overall buoyancy and volume of the balloon.


Can a physical change can change an object into a different kind of matter?

No, a physical change does not change an object into a different kind of matter. It only alters the form or appearance of the substance, such as size, shape, or state (solid, liquid, gas), without changing its chemical composition.

How are shapes and volume used to classify solids liquids and gases?

A solid has a definite shape and volume that can be directly measured. A liquid does not have a definite shape, but it does have a measurable volume. A gas has neither a definite volume or shape and will completely fill the container it is in.


What does shape have to do with volume?

The volume of a figure depends on the kind of shape it has.


What kind of substance has a definite shape but no definite volume?

volume= mass\Density . so as if shape remain same then its mass and density remain fixed . so therefore no such object , but if we apply Einstein theory of relativity then as it says " after traveling some distance each object looses its mass which is very less i.e in fraction, which in negligible . Therefore each object is the answer.
