An elastic band is a solid. It is made of rubber, which is a type of polymer that retains its shape after being stretched or compressed. When you pull an elastic band, it deforms but returns to its original shape when released, demonstrating the properties of a solid material. Unlike liquids or gases, solids maintain a fixed shape and volume.
gas
Helium is a gas and will take the shape of the container it is taken
When molten or gaseous, yes.
When a solid is placed in a closed container, it retains its shape and volume because its particles are tightly packed and fixed in place. A liquid, on the other hand, takes the shape of the container while maintaining a constant volume, as its particles are close together but can move past one another. In the case of a gas, it expands to fill the entire container, changing both its shape and volume, as its particles are far apart and move freely.
liquid, gas, and plasma phases must be contained to remain in the same shape. Solid retains it's shape without containment.
A solid retains it's shape.
Liquid
Solids retain their shape. It is liquids, gasses, and plasmas that take the shape of their containers.
gas have no shape of its own'''

retains fixed shape not easily compresable does not flow easily
A solid retains a fixed volume and shape because its particles are tightly packed and held together by strong forces between them, preventing them from moving freely. This rigidity allows solids to maintain their shape when subjected to external forces.
A solid is an object that retains it's shape, and doesn't alter to fit the shape of it's container (if it's in a container), as in not liquid or gas. Example: Wood, most metals, plastic, rock. Anything that when you hold it doesn't flow through your fingers is a solid.

it doesnt have a shape if youre talking about the liquid gas it takes the shape it is in
Gasses have no definite shape and their "shape" is defined by the container that encloses them
