• a state of matter with definite volume but NOT a definite shape

• Anything that has mass and takes up volume

• the amount of space a sample of matter occupies

• the ability of one substance to dissolve in another 

Volume

• the amount of space a sample of matter occupies

•  a state of matter with definite volume

• a state of matter without a definite shape or volume

• a change in the size, shape, form, or state of matter that does not change the matter’s identity

states that the total mass before a chemical reaction is the same as the total mass after the chemical reaction
