&#x2018;A substance has a definite volume but no definite shape&#x2019;. State whether this substance is a solid, a liquid or a gas.

liquids have no definite shape but have a definite volume. They take up the shape of the container in which they are kept. Liquids flow and change shape, so they are not rigid and can be called fluid.
