How do you explain fixed volume?

Solids have a fixed shape and occupy a fixed volume. Liquids, because they flow, can occupy whatever shape their container has, so they do not have a fixed shape. Because the particles in liquids are very close together (barely further apart than in solids) liquids do not easily compress, so their volume is fixed.

What does a fixed volume mean?

Fixed volume is the property of liquid and solid. Which shows that the volume of both solid and liquid remain fixed under fixed temperature and pressure. Unlike gases, where the volume changes without applying any external force.

Why the liquid has fixed volume?

In a liquid, the particles are still in close contact, so liquids have a definite volume. However, because the particles can move about each other rather freely, a liquid has no definite shape and takes a shape dictated by its container. No definite shape (takes the shape of its container). Has definite volume.

What is a fixed shape?

Fixed shape means that that state of matter will not change its shape under any changes in condition (volume/pressure/temperature).

Did the wood have a fixed shape?

Yes, wood have a fixed shape. Explaination: The reason is that it’s solid and solids have a definite volume and shape. They have shapes that do not change and volumes that can be measured.

What does it mean to have a definite volume?

Definite (for both shape and volume) means that the container makes no difference whatsoever. If 5-liters of liquid water is poured into a 10-liter container, the liquid would occupy 5-liters of the container and the other 5-liters would be empty.

Which is the most common property of all liquids?

Physical properties of liquids. The most obvious physical properties of a liquid are its retention of volume and its conformation to the shape of its container.
