Which state of matter has a definite shape and volume? (2017)
Step 1: Understand the three main states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases.
Step 2: Identify the characteristics of solids: they have a fixed shape and a fixed volume.
Step 3: Compare solids to liquids and gases: liquids take the shape of their container but have a fixed volume, while gases take both the shape and volume of their container.
Step 4: Conclude that solids are the only state of matter that has both a definite shape and a definite volume.
