Detailed explanation-1: -A liquid can flow and take the shape of its container. Gases don’t have a fixed shape or a fixed volume. The particles move around all the time and spread out. This is why a gas fills its container.
Detailed explanation-2: -Not Volume: A liquid is the state of matter that has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container.
Detailed explanation-3: -Gases have the following characteristics: No definite shape (takes the shape of its container). No definite volume.
Detailed explanation-4: -(c) 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.
