which state of matter has indefinite shape and is compressible?
157009
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.

The five phases of matter. There are four natural states of matter: Solids, liquids, gases and plasma. The fifth state is the man-made Bose-Einstein condensates. In a solid, particles are packed tightly together so they don't move much.

Liquid: the interaction between the atoms lie between solid and gases and have indefinite shape.

Three states of matter exist – solid, liquid, and gas. Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but take the shape of the container. Gases have no definite shape or volume.

The three states of matter are the three distinct physical forms that matter can take in most environments: solid, liquid, and gas. In extreme environments, other states may be present, such as plasma, Bose-Einstein condensates, and neutron stars.

Characteristics of Liquids Liquids have definite volume, but indefinite shape. They are free to form droplets and puddles when they are not inside a container. When a liquid is inside a container, it will take its shape. Unlike gases, a liquid will not change its volume to spread out and completely fill a container.

gas: indefinite shape, indefinite volume. Indefinite shape means that the sample in question takes on the shape of the container. If some water was poured from a round container into a square container, the shape of the sample would change.

The States of Matter are either solid, liquid or gas. Most elements are solids, only 11 are gases and 2 are liquids.

Liquids will flow and fill up any shape of container. Solids like to hold their shape. In the same way that a large solid holds its shape, the atoms inside of a solid are not allowed to move around too much. Atoms and molecules in liquids and gases are bouncing and floating around, free to move where they want.

The definitions of each: solid: definite shape, definite volume. liquid: indefinite shape, definite volume. gas: indefinite shape, indefinite volume. Indefinite shape means that the sample in question takes on the shape of the container.

SOLID - HAS A DEFINITE SHAPE AND VOLUME 2. LIQUID - HAS A DEFINITE VOLUME AND TAKES THE SHAPE OF ITS CONTAINER 3. ... PLASMA - HAS NO DEFINITE SHAPE OR VOLUME AND WHOSE PARTICLES HAVE BROKEN APART. THE STATES OF MATTER ARE THE PHYSICAL FORMS IN WHICH A SUBSTANCE CAN EXIST.

Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas. Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. ... Gaseous matter is composed of particles packed so loosely that it has neither a defined shape nor a defined volume. A gas can be compressed.

The liquid will flow out over the surface because it does not retain its shape. A liquid takes that shape of its container. If something is in a liquid state of matter, it will have a definite volume, but an indefinite shape.
663123
Matter in the solid state maintains a fixed volume and shape, with component particles (atoms, molecules or ions) close together and fixed into place. Matter in the liquid state maintains a fixed volume, but has a variable shape that adapts to fit its container. Its particles are still close together but move freely.

State of matter: solid, liquid, gas, plasma etc. Physical properties like density, melting point etc. Mechanical properties like hardness, strength, brittleness or ductility etc. Optical properties like transparent, opaque, translucent etc.

The common things among the three states of matter are: They are made up of small tiny particles. They have a particular mass and can occupy space. These three states have volume in it.

Matter and Its Characteristics Matter is everything around you which is made up of particles. It has mass and occupies space. Mass is a physical quantity which expresses the amount of stuff in an object. The space inside the container that is occupied by matter is its volume.
