Why solids have fixed volume and fixed shape?
The have a fixed volume and shape because the particles inside the solid are packed tightly together would means that it cannot flow like a liquid.
What does it mean that the shape and volume of a solid are fixed?
atoms in solids are arranged in a fixed pattern's it is very difficult to compress them and change their shapes
Do 2 solids that have the same volume have the same shape?
not nessaserily a 1x8x8 rectangle has the same volume as a 4x4x4 cube
What are solids?
A solid is a hard thing like wood. Wood is a solid because it can not be squashed but it has a set shape and a set volume. Mainly it can not be poured.
Has a solid got volume?
Yes, all solids have a volume.
Solids have a fixed volume and?
fixed shape
Do solids have a fixed shape and volume?
Yes they do. Liquids have no fixed shape and gases have no fixed volume.

Im a sbstance that has a fixed volume and a fixed shape?
Solids are substances which have a fixed volume and fixed shape. Liquids, on the other hand, have a fixed volume but no definite shape. Finally, gases don't have a definite volume or shape.
What has a fixed shape and volume gas solid or liquid?
Solids.
The two common properties of all solids are fixed and?
All solids have a fixed shape unless acted upon by a force. If the temperature remains constant they have a fixed volume.
What is the phase of matter with no fixed shape but fixed volume?
Liquids have no definite shape; they take the shapes of their containers.Gases also have no definite shape, they take up any available space.
Why solids have fixed volume and fixed shape?

Why do solids have fixed shape and gases have niether a fixed shape nor a fixed volume?
The intermolecular forces between gas molecules are extremely weak.
Which state of matter maintains a fixed volume and shape?
A solid has a definite shape and volume. (but the volume may change with temperature)A liquid has a definite volume but not a definite shape, and a gas has no definite volume or shape.
Why liquid have fixed volume but no fixed shape?
Anything having a fixed volume but no fixed shape, but takes up the shape of the container it is in, is a good start point for the definition of a liquid. If it had a fixed shape or not a fixed volume (ignoring thermal expansion) it wouldn't be a liquid. Some stuff, like pitch at a certain temperature look like solids but can, over a period of years slowly take up the shape of the container. They might technically be called liquids but for most practical purposes be called solids.
A substance that has a fixed volume and a fixed shape?
It sounds like you are studying liquids, solids and gases.A liquid doesn't have a definite shape; it will shape like any container you pour it in.A gas doesn't have a definite volume; you can keep it at high pressure or low pressure and it will squeeze.A solid is the third type of physical state.
