a liquid
The state of matter in which the volume and shape of a substance are fixed is a solid. In solids, particles are closely packed together and have a fixed arrangement, giving them a definite shape and volume.
A substance that has a defined volume but an undefined shape is a liquid. Liquids take the shape of their container but maintain a fixed volume.
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.
No, liquids do not have a fixed volume - their volume is that of the container
A solid substance that has both shape and volume is a material that maintains its form and occupies a fixed amount of space. Examples include metals, rocks, wood, and plastic.

Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container. They are not shapeless like gases, but they do not have a fixed shape like solids.
Solids have a fixed shape and volume, with particles that are closely packed and vibrate in place. Liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, with particles that are close together but can move past each other. Gases have no fixed shape or volume, with particles that are far apart and move freely.
Heat causes substances to change their state because, when heated, the molecules within the substance to move around faster. The faster the molecules bounce about, the weaker they are held together.
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.
