water does not have an specific shape because the particles in it are far apart so when they enter a container they take the shape of it because then particles move and slide past one another and because they are far apart, they move a lot so the water doesn't have a specific shape of its own. just like gas
Some would say that water does have a specific shape -- the specific shape of the container that you put the water in.
The molecules of a liquid such as water can easily move around each other, unlike in a solid such as ice, where they are more or less locked in place. So one molecules tend to move to lower energy positions, which are the lowest positions due to gravity. This is like if you throw beans in a jar, they don't all pile up on one side but tend to uniformly fill the bottom first. So liquids take the shape of their container. However, this not true when the liquid has special attraction or repulsion from its container or where you have very small containers. Water in a thin tube forms a curved surface, usually being higher on the edges (as it is attracted to the sides.) In microgravity such as in orbit, water forms spherical droplets and does tend to have a definite shape, unless it is touching something it adheres to.
Water, like all liquids, has no definite shape because the particles are spaced farther apart than in a solid. This means the attractive forces between particles are weak enough for the water to take the shape of its container, while still being strong enough to keep the water as a cohesive body.

Structure. Solids have definite shape and definite volume. Liquids have definite volume but indefinite shape. Gases have both indefinite shape and indefinite volume.
Yes; Solids have definite volume and shapes. Gases have indefinite volume and shapes. Liquids have definite volume, indefinite shape.
Liquids have no definite volume or shape and take the shape of their containers.
because solids have shapes To improve upon the above answer. Solids have a definite shape and size, whereas liquids and gasses do not. Liquids have definite volume, but do not have a definite shape, and gasses have no definite shape or volume.

They have a definite volume, as they cannot be compressed. However they do not have a definite shape, they will take the shape of whatever they are stored in.
Solids have definite shape and definite volume. Liquids have not definite shape but have definite volume. Gases have neither definite shape not definite volume.
Liquids have a definite volume but not a definite shape; their particles roll over each other such that they take the shape of their container.
Liquids have a definite mass but not a definite shape so they take the shape of their container.
Liquids have a definite volume, but no definite shape.
Liquids have a definite mass and volume, but not a shape.
