Question

how solid, liquid and gas differ in shape and volume?

Answer 1

Hey dear !

So here's your answer :-

▶Solids have definite shape and volume.
For example : A table .

▶ Liquids do not have definite shape but they have definite volume. For example : 1 litre of Water kept in bucket have the shape of bucket but on pouring into glass it takes the shape of glass but we will notice that the volume i.e. 1 litre will remain constant.

▶Gases neither have definite shape nor definite volume.They can fill uniformly any space available to them.
For example : A balloon filled with helium and then transfering that same helium gas into a closed jar.

Hope this helps you dear ✌

Answer 2

Important characteristics of solids, liquids and gases are given below:

Solid:

A substance is said to be solid if it possess "definite volume" and "definite shape". The particles present in solid are held "closer to each other".

Example: Wood, stone, etc.

Liquid:

A substance is defined as liquid, if it possesses a definite volume but no definite shape. The particles present in liquids are loosely bonded to each other but they can move around.

Example: Water, bromine, gasoline, etc.

Gas:

A gaseous substance has neither possesses "definite volume" nor a "definite shape". The particles very loosely bounded and they move easier and faster.

Example: CO_2, NO gases etc.
