A gas has no fixed volume or shape.
What has a volume but not a fixed shape?
A solid has a fixed volume and does not change shape.

Which state would the substance be if it had no fixed volume?
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.
What is the phase of matter with no fixed shape but fixed volume?
The phase of matter with no fixed shape but fixed volume is a liquid. Liquids take the shape of their container but maintain a constant volume because the particles are close together but can move past each other.
Do solids have a fixed shape and volume?
Yes, solids have a fixed shape and volume. The particles in a solid are closely packed and have strong intermolecular forces that prevent them from moving freely, thus maintaining a fixed shape and volume.
What are the characteristics of the three most familiar states of matter?
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.
This has a fixed shape and a fixed volume?
solid
Does fixed mass of gas have fixed volume?
No.
