Because a solid is.. well, solid. Liquids morph, because they aren't "hard"
Liquids adopt the shape of the part of the container that they occupy. Gases adopt the entire shape and volume of their container.
Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but no definite shape - they take the shape of their container. Gases have no definite volume and no definite shape - they expand to fill their entire container.
Yes they do. Liquids have no fixed shape and gases have no fixed volume.

Neither liquids nor gases have a definite shape.
the particles in solids are closer together than in liquids and gases allowing it to keep its shape
Liquids and Gases are both matter, and are not solids.
Structure. Solids have definite shape and definite volume. Liquids have definite volume but indefinite shape. Gases have both indefinite shape and indefinite volume.
Liquids yes, gasses yes, solids no
Solids don't change their size or shape.
I can only tell you that gases are does not have a difinite shape and volume . E.g air / nitrogen / carbon dioxide / water vapour / . . .
The molecules of liquids and gasses are not tightly arranged or packed. It is due to this arrangement they can move freely. Thus, take the shape of the container. Whereas in solids the molecules are tightly arranged they don't have place to move. Thus ,they don't take the shape of the container.
Liquids adopt the shape of the part of the container that they occupy. Gases adopt the entire shape and volume of their container.
The common properties of solids is that they have definite shape and a definite volume. They do not take the shape of the containers like the liquids.
Solids have a set volume. Liquids have a set volume. Gases do not have a set volume. Why? Solids are solids. They don't move. They're in a 'frozen state' as is. Liquids 'mold' to the shape of their container and they stay there. Gases are free to go anywhere. Always moving and 'flying.'
Solids have a definite shape and size. This is where solids differ from liquids and gases, for which the same cannot be said.
