What is the definition of a solid in terms of shape and volume?

What "seems" solid is actually the electromagnetic repulsion between charges on the outer surfaces of the atoms/molecules of two solid objects. Try to put your hand through a brick wall & the repulsive force keeps you from doing so. The atoms of a solid are locked together by this same force & so do not move around your hand, as water or air would do.

∙ 11y agoWell, according to my 8th grade science book, it says that "The particles in a solid are closley locked in position and can only vibrate." Therefore, I believe that solids have a definite shape and volume because their particles are tightly packed and there is not room for it to be flexible.

Compare solids liquids and gases in terms of their shapes and volumes.?
Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but no definite shape - they take the shape of their container. Gases have no definite volume and no definite shape - they expand to fill their entire container.
What is the definition of matter in science terms?
Matter generally regarded to be any substance that has mass and (usually) volume.
How does this change in volume affect the density of solids liquids and gases?
mass is mass for solid, liquid, and gas. density of solid > density of liquid > density of gas volume of solid < volume of liquid < volume of gas There are some exceptions to "density of solid > density of liquid" and "volume of solid < volume of liquid", with some of them being ice / water and rock / magma.
What is the difference between gases solids and liquids in terms of volume?
Gases have the greatest volume. Liquids are denser than gases. Most solids are slightly denser than liquids. One important exception is ice. Ice is solid water, but because of its crystal structure, ice is not as dense as liquid water.
What is a sphere shape?
Coccus
What are the similarities and differences of solid liquid and gases in terms of their shape volume and mass?
beacause the solid has definate shape and volume a liquid has no definate shape a gas like liquid has no definate shape Volume is measured in cubic centimeter milliter (ml) Mass is directly related to the number and types of atoms present in the object
How are liquid described in terms of shape and volume?
It has definite volume but no definite shape. It takes the shape of the container.
What are similarities and differences among solids liquids and gases in terms of their shape volume and mass?
beacause the solid has definate shape and volume a liquid has no definate shape a gas like liquid has no definate shape Volume is measured in cubic centimeter milliter (ml) Mass is directly related to the number and types of atoms present in the object
How may liquids be described in terms of shapes and volume?
A solid has a constant volume and a determinate shape.A liquid has a constant volume but an indeterminate shape.A gas has an indeterminate volume and an indeterminate shape.liquids have a constant volume at a constant temperature, and take the shape of their container.
What is the definition to the word volume in science terms?
the definition of volume is how much space an object takes up ..
How are liquids described in terms of shape and?
It has definite volume but no definite shape. It takes the shape of the container.
Compare 3 states of matter in terms of volume and shape?
The 3 common states of matter are taken as Solid, Liquid and Gas or S, L, G. * Solid has a fixed volume and has its own definite shape; cannot be compressed. * Liquid has a fixed volume and takes the shape of its container; cannot be compressed. * Gas has the same volume as its container and fills its container therefore having no shape; gases can be compressed. Solids can not be compressed so we use solids to build houses or sit at a desk made from solids.Liquids can not be compressed so we use them in hydraulic hoses or sometimes as brake fluid.Gases can be compressed so when we sit on a nice padded couch we squash the air and make our selves comfortable.
What is the definition for volume in math terms?
Volume is the amount of space an object takes up.
What is the definition of volume in math terms?
Volume is the amount of three-dimensional space taken up by something.
How are liquids described in terms in shape and volume?
they are described in the way that they are shaped
What does the term volume mean in mathematical terms?
Volume is the area within a hollow 3 dimensional shape.
What is the definition for volume in scientific terms?
Total amount of space it takes up.
