liquid
take up space and have particles
This is the definition of a gas.
A solid does. Liquids change in shape and gases change in both shape and volume.
a gas Actually all three states of matter can do this, but the gas state in the most.
Liquid is the state of matter that takes the shape of it's container and flows.
Gas.
Yes, some matter can have a definite volume but not a definite shape. This is characteristic of liquids, which maintain a fixed volume but take the shape of their container. In contrast, solids have both definite volume and shape, while gases have neither. Thus, liquids exemplify matter that has a definite volume without a definite shape.
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.
Matter changes both its shape and volume when it is in a gaseous state. Imagine oxygen: if you have a syringe full of oxygen, the oxygen is in the shape of the syringe, but if you let it out, it would readily lose this shape as it escaped into the environment. If you do not let it out, and instead push the syringe, you are compressing the oxygen; in other words, you are making the volume of the oxygen smaller by making it more dense. Oxygen, as with any other gas, does not have a fixed shape or volume.
