Anything having a fixed volume but no fixed shape, but takes up the shape of the container it is in, is a good start point for the definition of a liquid. If it had a fixed shape or not a fixed volume (ignoring thermal expansion) it wouldn't be a liquid. Some stuff, like pitch at a certain temperature look like solids but can, over a period of years slowly take up the shape of the container. They might technically be called liquids but for most practical purposes be called solids.
What else can I help you with?
What state of matter has a define volume but no define shape?
A liquid is a state of matter that has a defined volume but no defined shape. In a liquid, particles are close enough to have a fixed volume, but not in a fixed position, allowing the substance to take the shape of its container.
What state of matter has no fixed shape but has definite volume?
The state of matter that has no fixed shape but has a definite volume is a liquid. In a liquid, the particles are more loosely packed compared to a solid, allowing them to move and flow, taking on the shape of their container while maintaining a constant volume.
A state of matter that has no fixed shape but that has a definite volume?
The state of matter you are referring to is a liquid. In a liquid, the particles are close together but not in fixed positions, allowing the liquid to take the shape of its container while maintaining a constant volume.
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.
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 is the phase of matter with no fixed shape but fixed volume?
The phase of matter with no fixed shape but fixed volume is a liquid. Liquids take the shape of their container but maintain a constant volume because the particles are close together but can move past each other.
What is a substance that has a fixed volume?
A liquid has a fixed volume but not a fixed shape. If you put it into a graduated cylinder, it will take the shape of the cylinder. If you put it into a bowl, it will take the shape of the bowl.
What phase has a fixed volume but not a fixed shape?
This phase is a liquid.
What is a state of matter with a fixed shape and a fixed volume?
liquid is the state of matter having indefinite shape but fixed volume.
Has a constant volume nut no fixed shape?
A liquid has a constant volume but no fixed shape.
What is a state of matter with a fixed volume but no fixed shape?
liquid
What is something with a fixed volume but not a fixed shape?
This is the characterization of a liquid.
What is a state of matter with a fixed volume but not a fixed shape?
Liquid
dose liquid have a fixed volume but no fixed shape?
yes
What are the characteristics of the three most familiar states of matter?
Solid: Particles are tightly packed together, have a fixed shape and volume, and vibrate in place. Liquid: Particles are close together but can flow and take the shape of their container, with a fixed volume. Gas: Particles are far apart, move freely, have no fixed shape or volume, and fill the entire container they are in.
What is the state of matter with a indefinite shape and a fixed volume?
liquid is the state of matter having indefinite shape but fixed volume.
Is mouthwash a solid a liquid or a gas?
A solid has a fixed volume and shape. Like a bar of soap. A liquid has a fixed volume, but no fixed shape, like water. A gas has no fixed volume and no fixed shape. Like a burp. If you pour mouthwash into a glass, it still has volume, but now it takes on the shape of the glass. Hmmm. Sounds mighty liquidy, does it not?
