Best Answer

gas has no specific volume because the molecules can be compressed or expanded, which would change the volume. like there is a smaller volume of gas in a can of soda then in the atmesphere around you.

What is the physical properties for a solid a liquid and a gas?

Generally speaking, a solid's shape and volume are independent of the container it is placed in. So for sand, you have to think of a grain. A liquid has a definite volume, but it's shape changes with the container it is put in. Gas has a mass but its volume and shape are container specific.
