Answer 1

Air-No definite volume OR shape(gas)
Water-No definite shape, but definite volume(liquid)
Book- Definite shape and definite volume (solid)
Ice Cube- Definite shape and definite volume (solid)

Answer 2

Water...in fact, matter with a specific volume, but not a specific shape is the definition of a liquid. Water is a liquid. The book and ice are solids because they have both a specific volume and shape.

The balloon consists of a confined gas. So it's a combination of a gas, which has neither a specific volume nor a specific shape, and the more-or-less fixed shape of the solid latex (rubber) that surrounds it.

Gas, liquid, and solid are the so-called states or phases of matter.

Answer 3

Water. A fluid cannot be compressed (so has a definite volume), but takes the shape of whatever container it is in (no definite shape).

Answer 4

Not all matter. only liquids & gases.
Take certain volume of liquid or gas. Pour it into different vessels of different shapes. You ca see the liquid takes the shape o the vessel. In the case of gases let the vessels be enclosed ones.

Answer 5

quantity is the quantity of liquid which ought to be sure . shape relies upon upo the container wherein the liquid is saved because of the fact the molecules in liquid is losely packed than stable molecules (this might sound u scientific yet thats the fact jack)

Answer 6

Geologist Greg is correct. It's water.

Answer 7

Geologist Greg is not correct saying that fluids are incompressible, HOWEVER, water is the right answer.
