Mass and volume
density, melting point, boiling point, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, magnetic properties, viscosity, and many, many others.
solids can have a definite shape liquids and gases cannot
Gases change their volume according to the container that they are in. Liquids change shape but not volume, and solids change neither shape nor volume.
Structure. Solids have definite shape and definite volume. Liquids have definite volume but indefinite shape. Gases have both indefinite shape and indefinite volume.
Solids don't change their size or shape.
- solids have a shape and a volume- liquids have a volume but not a shape- gases haven't shape or volume (in free form)
Some properties or characteristics that distinguish gases from solids and liquids are that they are compressible and also can expand to fill the volume in a container. Likewise, gas molecules are far apart and can occupy more space when compared to those of solids or liquids.

Structure. Solids have definite shape and definite volume. Liquids have definite volume but indefinite shape. Gases have both indefinite shape and indefinite volume.
Solids don't change their size or shape.
Solids have a set volume. Liquids have a set volume. Gases do not have a set volume. Why? Solids are solids. They don't move. They're in a 'frozen state' as is. Liquids 'mold' to the shape of their container and they stay there. Gases are free to go anywhere. Always moving and 'flying.'
I can only tell you that gases are does not have a difinite shape and volume . E.g air / nitrogen / carbon dioxide / water vapour / . . .
Solids are usually more dense because solids have a smaller volume than liquids or gases, so the same amount of mass is in a smaller volume, making the density greater.
they all contract.
Unlike solids and liquids, a gas will expand to fill the space available to it.
solids cannot be poured , they cannot also change shape unless you bend it , break a bit of it or melt it. liquids can be poured. gases can not be condensed down
Yes they do. Liquids have no fixed shape and gases have no fixed volume.
