Detailed explanation-1: -Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but take the shape of the container. Gases have no definite shape or volume.
Detailed explanation-2: -Liquid has no definite shape, but has a fixed volume.
Detailed explanation-3: -A liquid, on the other hand, has a definite volume, but does not have a definite shape. Unlike solids, liquids take on the shape of their container. Gases do not have definite shapes or definite volumes and like liquids gases take the shape of their containers.
Detailed explanation-4: -Gases do not have a definite shape or volume because the molecules in gases are very loosely packed, they have large intermolecular spaces and hence they move around. The force of attraction between molecules is also very less, as a result gases acquire any shape or any volume.
