the solid state
The state of matter in which the volume and shape of a substance are fixed is a solid. In solids, particles are closely packed together and have a fixed arrangement, giving them a definite shape and volume.

Solid
A liquid is a state of matter that has a defined volume but no defined shape. In a liquid, particles are close enough to have a fixed volume, but not in a fixed position, allowing the substance to take the shape of its container.
liquid is the state of matter having indefinite shape but fixed volume.
A solid
a gas
Solid: Particles are tightly packed together, have a fixed shape and volume, and vibrate in place. Liquid: Particles are close together but can flow and take the shape of their container, with a fixed volume. Gas: Particles are far apart, move freely, have no fixed shape or volume, and fill the entire container they are in.

The state of matter that describes a substance with a definite volume but no definite shape is a liquid. In a liquid, particles are close together but not in a fixed arrangement, allowing them to flow and take the shape of their container.
The substance would be in a gaseous state if it had no fixed volume. Gases have no fixed shape or volume and can expand to fill the container they are in.
