The state of matter is actually to states of matter. Solid and liquid are the states of matter that have a volume,(liquid) and shape(solid).
Most solids have a definite shape and a definite volume. But solids such as sand and salt can pour and flow like a liquid but are solid.
Solid state has definite shape AND volume.
(Liquid only has definite volume, and gas has neither)
A solid has a defined shape and volume

Solids are the only forms of matter having definite shape and volume.
There is no such state of matter. Solid has a definite shape and volume, liquid has a definite volume but not a definite shape, gases have neither a definite shape nor a definite volume.
No state of matter corresponds to this. Solids are the only state with definite shape, but they have a definite volume too.
gas
Liquids have no shape, but a defined volume
matter having no definite volume and no definite shape is a liquid
The state of matter having a definite volume but no definite shape is liquid.
gas
matter having no definite volume and no definite shape is a liquid
A state of matter having definite volume but no definite shape is called, "liquid".
Solids
Solids are the only forms of matter having definite shape and volume.
Liquid
a solid
Matter that takes both the shape and volume of its container is a gas. A solid is characterized by having a definite shape and definite volume.
a solid because the particles don't move like your computer water doesn't have a definite shape because it moves and flows gas doesn't have a definite volume because it takes the shape of its container and plasma is just special
