The shape of a liquid depends upon its?
The shape of a liquid is determined by the container in which it is placed. Liquids take the shape of their container because their particles are able to flow and move around freely, allowing them to conform to the shape of the container.
Do liquid have a fixed temperature but no fixed shape?
A liquid (water) takes on the temperature you give it. You need to boil the water if you want to brew a cup of tea. Having brewed your cup of tea, it will take on the shape of the cup you use. Therefore, gas and liquids take on the shape of the container.
What are the 3 states that matter can exist in?
The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither a fixed shape nor volume and fill the entire 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.
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.
What state of water does not take on the shape of its container?
Liquid
Can water be round or square-shaped?
As a liquid water has no defined shape. It will take on the shape of the container it is put in.
How is water able to take the shape of the bottom of the container it is stored in?
Water is a liquid, and its molecules move around freely, but still must respond to gravity. The molecules in liquid water do not have the ability to hold a shape by rigidly clinging to each other, so the liquid will take the shape of its container.
What is the shape of a liquid?
A liquid takes the shape of any solid that it is contained within. For example water within a square container will appear square, but water within a triangular container will appear triangular.
Does liquid have definite shape?
Yes
What does liquid take the shape of?
Liquids take the shape of their container.
Why does liquid take the shape of a sphere when in zero gravity and gases does not?
It is due to surface tension. Surface tension is only for liquids. Due to surface tension surface energy is to be minimized only reducing the area. For a given volume sphere has minimum surface area. Hence spherical shape.
What substance is classified as liquid?
Water, alcohol, oil, and gasoline are examples of substances that are classified as liquid. Liquids have a fixed volume but not a fixed shape, meaning they take the shape of their container.
What is a state of matter that has definite volume but not a definite shape like melted water?
The state of matter with a definite volume but not a definite shape, like melted water, is called a liquid. In this state, the particles are close together and can flow and take the shape of the container they are in.
What is a substance with a definite volume but no shape?
Any liquid has a definite volume but no definite shape.
Does liquid have an indefinite shape?
yes; a liquid is able to flow and take the shape of a container.
Why does liquid water take its shape of the container but an ice cube does not?
Liquid is much more tangible than ice if that's what your asking....
