Do not have a definite shape and match the shape of the container they are in?
The particles in a liquid are loosely arranged which means they do not have a fixed shape like solids, but they rather take the shape of the container they are in. The speed at which the particles move around inside the liquid depends on the energy of the particles.
Which substance takes the shape of and fills the volume of any container into which it is placed?
A gas fills its container, taking both the shape and the volume of the container. Liquids and gases are called fluids because they can be made to flow, or move.
Which state of matter has a definite volume but no definite shape?
gas
The particles of a solid are closely packed in position and can only vibrate in place. The particles of a liquid and gas are free to move. A liquid has a definite volume but no definite shape, whereas a gas has neither a definite volume nor a definite shape.
What kind of substance changes its shape but not its volume when its placed in a new container?
Liquids are non-compressible and have constant volume but can change shape. A liquid’s shape is dictated by the shape of the container it is in. Gases do not have a constant volume or shape; they not only take the shape of the container they are in, they try to fill the entire container.
What does not change shape in containers?
Definite shape means that if you take the substance out of the container and move it to a container that hass a different shape, the substance will not change the shape it had in the initial container. So the solid is the only one that has definite shape.
What does not have a defined shape or volume?
Gas
Volume: Gas is the state of matter that has no definite shape or volume.
What is a liquid that has a definite volume but not shape?
A liquid has a definite volume (size) that is not changed by the container, but not a definite shape. What is Substances that assume the shape of their container but do not have a definite size are called? Substances that assume the shape of their container but do not have a definite size is water or any liquid substance.
What takes the shape of its container but does not fill?
A liquid takes the shape of its container but always has a definite size (volume) and may not completely fill its container. Do not have definite size and always take the shape of their container? gases Does not have definite size and always take the shape of their container? water
What has a definite size but no definite shape?
A liquid has a definite size but no definite shape. In contrast, a solid has definite size and shape, and a gas has no definite size or shape. What does not have definite size and always take the space of the container? That would be a gas. How can gas fill a container of any size or shape?
Can a liquid change its shape?
But, the answer is actually no, since it does not have definite volume AND definite shape. It only has definite volume, since for shape, it takes the shape of its container. Can liquid change their shape And why? Yes.
