neither the shape nor the volume
They are lighter in density as compared to solids. Gas are compressible, whereas not all solids. Gases exhibit better flow characteristics than solids. Gases readily react with other substances. All solids are seen by the naked eye whereas some gases are not.
A liquid takes the shape of its container.
Sand itself doesnt take the shape of the container its all of sand put together that takes theshape of a container. if you just get a single grain of sand...its not going to take the shape. you need a lot of it.
shape but not the volume

No.
All solids do no have same properties. They possess different properties.
Liquids flow into all the nooks and crannies of a container because the particles are free to move around. The particles in a solid are fixed in place relative to one another and are held there by strong forces of attraction.
because.
solids hold their shape but liquids take the shape of the container there in
These are solids whose corresponding sides are in the same proportion, and all its angles are equal.
No all solids do not expand at same rate because some solid expand at less temperature and some solids expand at less temperature. For example if we take iron and plastic iron expands at high temperature and plastic melt at less temperature(at candle light also).
