It sounds like you are studying liquids, solids and gases.
A liquid doesn't have a definite shape; it will shape like any container you pour it in.
A gas doesn't have a definite volume; you can keep it at high pressure or low pressure and it will squeeze.
A solid is the third type of physical state.
The substance would be in a gaseous state if it had no fixed volume. Gases have no fixed shape or volume and can expand to fill the container they are in.
A gas is a substance that does not have a fixed shape or volume. It can expand to fill the space available to it.
A liquid has a fixed volume but not a fixed shape. If you put it into a graduated cylinder, it will take the shape of the cylinder. If you put it into a bowl, it will take the shape of the bowl.
A solid has a definite shape and volume A liquid has the shape of the container and a definite volume A gas has the shape and volume of the container so the two characteristics for the substance to be solid are: a definite shape a definite volume
A solid is a substance that has fixed its shape. Solids have a definite shape and volume because their particles are closely packed together and have little freedom of movement. This allows solids to maintain their shape until an external force is applied to change it.
A solid
a gas
The substance would be in a gaseous state if it had no fixed volume. Gases have no fixed shape or volume and can expand to fill the container they are in.
The state of matter in which the volume and shape of a substance are fixed is a solid. In solids, particles are closely packed together and have a fixed arrangement, giving them a definite shape and volume.
a liquid
A liquid
A substance that has a defined volume but an undefined shape is a liquid. Liquids take the shape of their container but maintain a fixed volume.
A gas is a substance with no definite shape or volume.

Solid: Particles are tightly packed together, have a fixed shape and volume, and vibrate in place. Liquid: Particles are close together but can flow and take the shape of their container, with a fixed volume. Gas: Particles are far apart, move freely, have no fixed shape or volume, and fill the entire container they are in.
