A gas takes up the space of its container because the particles are widely spaced and move freely. This allows them to spread out and fill the available space.
In science, "liquid" refers to a state of matter that has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container. Liquids flow and can be poured, but do not expand to fill the entire space of a container like gases.
Only liquid. Gas never has a definite volume. Both will always take the shape of their container though.A liquid
Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter (with solid, liquid and plasma being the other states). It has the distinction of taking both the shape and the volume of the container that it is in. If you want to include plasma, that too will expand - acting like a gas. So will supercritical fluids which might be considered gases by some definitions, but not by others..
Matter occupies space, and the space it takes up is called the volume of matter.
Matter takes up space. The amount of space matter occupies is referred to as its volume.
The state of matter could be gas or liquid, but this question is pretty vague.
A gas is a state of matter that takes the shape of its container. Gas particles are free to move around and fill the space available to them, allowing the gas to expand or be compressed to fit the container's shape.

The state of matter that fills all the space available is a gas. Gas particles are free to move around and fill any container they are placed in, as they have a high level of kinetic energy that allows them to spread out to fill the available space.
