Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the three common states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas, each with distinct properties regarding shape, volume, and weight.
Recall that solids have a definite shape and volume, meaning they maintain their shape and size regardless of the container.
Recognize that gases have neither definite shape nor definite volume; they expand to fill their container and have variable volume.
Identify that liquids have a definite volume and weight but no definite shape, meaning they take the shape of their container while maintaining a constant volume.
Conclude that the type of matter described—definite weight and volume but no definite shape—is a liquid.
