Gases are highly compressible. So they don't have definite volume and pressure. As volume is reduced for a given mass pressure increases. Also as temperature changes then at constant volume pressure changes considerably. Same way for a constant pressure temperature change brings a change in the volume. Moreover gasses do not have a free surface.

What are some examples of how gases are different from liquids and solids?
I can only tell you that gases are does not have a difinite shape and volume . E.g air / nitrogen / carbon dioxide / water vapour / . . .
What state of matter Does not have a definite volume or shape and does not conduct electricity?
Gases.
What properties do gases and liquids share?
they are fluid
Why doesn't gas have a definite shape?
Gas doesn't have a definite shape because the atoms of gases are far apart from each other due to weak van der Waals forces.
Solids have a definite?
I think it's because the particles are packed together tightly, wheres in liquids they can move around a bit more and in gases they can move around absolutely freely. That's why gases take up all the room in an area and also explains why they can be compressed
Has no definite shape solid liquid or gas?
Only solids have a definite shape. Neither liquids nor gases have a definite shape.Only solids have a definite shape.

What does not have a definite shape or a volume?
A gas does not have a definite shape or volume.
A description of gases and liquids are?
Gases have neither a definite shape nor a definite volume. Liquids do not have a definite shape, but they DO have a definite volume. Gases have no or little intermolecular forces holding them together, whereas liquids do have substantial intermolecular forces.
Do gases have a definite volume?
no
What have a definite volume?
Gases.
What has definite volume and shape?
Solids have definite shape and definite volume. Liquids have not definite shape but have definite volume. Gases have neither definite shape not definite volume.
Do gases have definite shape or volume?
No. They neither have definite shape nor definite volume.
What type of matter has no definite volume and no definite shape?
gas
What doesn't have definite volume?
Gases.
What doesn't have a definite volume?
Gases.
Takes the shape of the container but not the size?
Gases do not have a definite volume, which means that they can be expanded and compressed, depending on the pressure the gas is under. Gases also do not have a definite shape, so they take the shape of whatever container they are in. Unlike gases, liquids do have a definite volume because they are not easily compressed. However, like gases, liquids take the shape of their container, too. Solids have definite volume and definite shape.
Compare solids liquids and gases in terms of their shapes and volumes?
Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but no definite shape - they take the shape of their container. Gases have no definite volume and no definite shape - they expand to fill their entire container.
