Putting it simply. There are 3 states of matter with distinct properties:

Solid: fixed volume and shape.

Liquid: fixed volume but will flow to fill a container.

Gas: volume is not fixed and it will expand to fill the container it is in.

In some vases this classification breaks down and there is a whole area of chemistry/physics dedicated to describing and classifying such cases.
