Superfluidity
The volume of a solid is fixed and maintains a specific shape. The volume of a liquid is determined by its container but it takes the shape of the container. The volume of a gas is not fixed and expands to fill the available space.
A liquid. A gas has no definite volume, as it's volume is whatever the volume of the container it is in happens to be. A solid, by it's nature of being solid, will not take on the shape of it's container.
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..
Gases contain the weakest cohesive forces among the three common states of matter because the particles are further apart and only have weak intermolecular forces acting between them. This allows gases to flow easily and fill the space of their container.
Matter that can flow is called a fluid. Fluids can either be liquids or gases and they can take the shape of their container.

Liquids and gases
A gas is a state of matter that can be compressed and can flow. Gases have no definite shape or volume, allowing them to take the shape of their container and flow easily. They can be compressed to reduce their volume.
The state of matter of a liquid is - well - a liquid. The four states of matter are solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
Both a gas and a liquid will take the shape of its container.
b. gases. Gases are the only state of matter that can flow freely and take the shape of their container due to the minimal forces of attraction between their particles. Liquids can also flow but have more intermolecular attraction than gases, while solids have fixed shapes and cannot flow.
Gas and liquid will take it
liquid,gas,and solid
A fluid is any matter that has no fixed shape, can flow and takes the shape of its container.
The two states of matter that take the shape of their container are gases and liquids. Gases have no fixed shape or volume and will expand to fill any container, while liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container.
