Matter in the liquid state can take the shape of a container. However, a liquid has a definite volume. On the other hand, a gas can do both, that is take the shape and volume or size of a container.
WATER has no definite shape but has definite volume.
No, gases do not have a definite volume because they expand to fill the entire container they are in. The volume of a gas is determined by the size of its container.
Yes, nitrogen has a definite volume in its gas phase as it fills up the container it is in. However, in its liquid or solid phase, nitrogen can take the shape of its container and does not have a definite volume.
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).LiquidLiquidA liquid has a definite volume but assumes the shape of any container which it is placed into.
Substances that assume the shape of their container but do not have a definite size is water or any liquid substance.
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.
A liquid is the state of matter that has a definite volume but no definite shape. It takes the shape of its container.
A gas.
Gases do not have a definite volume, which means that they can be expanded and compressed, depending on the pressure the gas is under. Gases also do not have a definite shape, so they take the shape of whatever container they are in. Unlike gases, liquids do have a definite volume because they are not easily compressed. However, like gases, liquids take the shape of their container, too. Solids have definite volume and definite shape.
One activity to demonstrate that liquids do not have a definite shape and size is to pour water from a container into different shaped containers (such as a cup, bowl, or bottle). The water will take on the shape of the new container, showing that liquids take the shape of their container. Additionally, the volume of the liquid will change based on the size of the container, further demonstrating that liquids do not have a definite size.
This describes the physical property of liquids. Liquids take the shape of their container because their molecules are free to move past one another, but they do not have a definite volume like solids do.
A gas is a type of matter that does not have a definite shape or size. Gases will expand to fill the space available to them, taking on the shape of their container.
