A gas or a plasma takes on the entire size (volume) and shape of its container. A liquid takes the shape of its container but always has a definite size (volume) and may not completely fill its container.

What is a form of matter that does not have a definite shape or definite volume?
Water does not have a definate shape or volume because it takes the shape of any container it is put into.
What state of matter has a definite volume but no definite shape?
A liquid has a definite volume (which can change with temperature), but takes the shape of its container.A Liquid is the state that has no definite shape, since the atoms can move around, it is therefore able to form itself to the shape of its container. However, since the atoms still have weak bonds to one another, it cannot fill up a closed container by stretching out the atoms. (The form of matter that does this is a gas.)* Liquids can be very slightly compressed, but not to the extent of gases.---There are 3 phases of matter. Solids, liquids and gases. Solids have a definite shape and a definite volume. Liquids do not have a definite shape but do have a definite volume. Gases do not have a definite shape as they can "flow", and they do not have a definite volume as they can fill a container by changing in pressure (density).
Why can liquids flow from place to place?
Liquids can flow from place to place because liquids have no definite shape. Instead, a liquid takes the shape of its container. Without a container, liquid spreads into a wide shallow puddle.
