The ability to take the shape of a container is characteristic of liquids and gases. Liquids have a definite volume but adapt to the shape of their container, while gases have neither a definite shape nor a definite volume, expanding to fill the entire container. Solids, in contrast, maintain a fixed shape regardless of the container.
Liquids and gases
One physical characteristic that does not apply to gases is a definite shape. Unlike solids and liquids, gases do not have a fixed shape; they take the shape of their container. Additionally, gases have low density compared to solids and liquids, and they can be easily compressed, which is another characteristic that distinguishes them from other states of matter.
Gases and plasma both have the ability to flow and take the shape of their container. They are both composed of rapidly moving particles. Additionally, they can conduct electricity and are considered to be highly ionized states of matter.
A liquid state is one in which a substance flows and takes the shape of its container.
Liquid is one of the four fundamental states of matter, characterized by molecules that are close together but can move past one another. In the liquid state, particles have more energy than in a solid but less than in a gas, giving liquids their fluidity and ability to take the shape of their container. Examples of liquids include water, alcohol, and oil.

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.

Superfluidity
Gas is distinguished from the other two ordinary states of matter, solid and liquid, by its ability to expand to fill the space it is in, taking the shape of its container. This is because gas particles are further apart and have more energy compared to particles in solids and liquids.
Solids do not take the shape of the container
