Why a gas has no definite shape and no definite volume?
The forces of attraction between gas molecules is too weak for them to mantain any kind of definitive shape.( solids only have a shape because there are strong intermolecular forces between solid molecules). The reason for gas molecules not being able to mantain a fixed volume is also the same, the inter atomic forces are too weak to prevent spreading of gas molecules. Your looking for ( gas )
How would you compare and contrast liquid water and ice in terms of how definite their shapes and volumes are?
Liquids have a variable shape take the shape of the container. Gases also have a variable shape and take the shape of the container.Liquids have a fixed volume. Gases have a variable volume and fill the container.
What kind of particles make up wind?

What kind of wave has areas where particles are spread out?
compressional waves
What is a kind of matter with a volume and a shape that both stay the same?
solid
What kind of solid holds it shape even though its particles do not have an orderly arrangement?
amorphous
How are shapes and volume used to classify solids liquids and gases?
A solid has a definite shape and volume that can be directly measured. A liquid does not have a definite shape, but it does have a measurable volume. A gas has neither a definite volume or shape and will completely fill the container it is in.
What does shape have to do with volume?
The volume of a figure depends on the kind of shape it has.

A liquid has an indefinite shape and a definite volume.
What kind of energy does particles of a solid have?
thertmal
