Super-cooled liquidsA gas takes the shape of its container and fills it, as well. A liquid takes the shape of its container but doesn't fill it necessarily. A solid has a definite volume and shape and usually, but not always, exhibits a crystalline structure.

Solids that do not have a crystalline structure are sometimes called "super-cooled liquids" because liquids have no crystalline structure. Glass is a good example of a solid that has no crystalline structure.
