What type of matter has not definite shape or size?
A gas has no definite shape or volume.
which type of matter has an indefinite shape and an indefinite volume?
gas
Use what you know about the particles in a gas to explain why a gas has no definite shape and no definite volume?
By definition. There are 4 basic states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. That type which has no definite volume or shape is defined, in physical science, as a gas. Solids have a definite shape and are (practically) not compressible, so their volume is also well defined. Liquids are not compressible, but they can take any shape, liquid meaning fluid (able to flow.) Gasses are fluids which can easily be compressed, so they have no definite volume or shape. Their volume depends upon the pressure applied. Gasses are not particles. Balloons may take any shape and are always filled with some gas. Plasma is a special case of a gas, so hot and excited that its electrons cannot stay bound to its atomic nucleus. That state of matter which has no definite shape or volume is called a gas.
What is the frictional force between a tire and a road?
the energy to change the shape of the tire were it is crunched is a type of drage
What does liquid matter take shape of?
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.
Type of matter that has a definite volume but can change shape?
A plastic or fluid.
Can a liquids volume change no matter what type a containor its in?
No. The liquid's shape changes to fit the container it's in, but the volume doesn't change.
What type of Matter that has definite shape but no definite volume?
The type of matter with a definite volume but no fixed shape is a liquid. In a gas, there is no definite volume or shape, and in a solid there is a fixed shape and definite volume. A liquid is free to adopt of shape of its container, but its volume is fixed.
What type of matter has not definite shape or size?

which type of matter has an indefinite shape and an indefinite volume?
gas
What a solid liquid and gas have in common?
