Detailed explanation-1: -Gases have the following characteristics: No definite shape (takes the shape of its container) No definite volume.
Detailed explanation-2: -Volume: Gas is the state of matter that has no definite shape or volume.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -Due to the weak internuclear force of attraction, the gaseous particles have enough kinetic energy and they can move in any direction without any restrictions. Hence, the gases do not have a fixed shape and fixed volume.
