Gases have no fixed shape or volume, allowing their molecules to move freely and fill the entire space available to them. As a result, gas molecules collide with the walls of their container in all directions, exerting pressure uniformly in all directions. In contrast, solids and liquids have fixed shapes and volumes and thus exert pressure in a more localized manner.
Fluidity and compressibility are properties present in liquids and gases but not in solids. Liquids and gases can flow and take the shape of their container, unlike solids which have a fixed shape. Gases can be compressed under pressure, unlike solids which have a fixed volume.
One property of liquids is that they have a definite volume, meaning they occupy a fixed amount of space regardless of the container they are in. However, unlike solids, liquids do not have a definite shape and will take the shape of the container. This ability to flow and conform to the container's shape distinguishes liquids from solids and gases.
Isotropic properties of liquids refer to their uniform characteristics in all directions, meaning that their physical and mechanical properties, such as density, viscosity, and refractive index, remain consistent regardless of the direction of measurement. This isotropy is a result of the random arrangement of molecules in liquids, allowing them to behave similarly when subjected to stress or external forces. Unlike solids, where anisotropic behavior can occur due to structural orientation, liquids maintain this uniformity under normal conditions.
By "squash" it would seem you are thinking of compressing into a smaller volume. The simple answer to that is: YES. Because the molecules in gases are more widely spaced than solids or liquids, they have less resistance to being brought closer together, i.e. squashed.
A gas changes its volume to fill its container due to the increased kinetic energy of its molecules, which move freely and rapidly in all directions. Unlike solids and liquids, gases have much lower density and are highly compressible, allowing them to expand and occupy the entire volume of the available space. This behavior is described by the gas laws, which illustrate how pressure, volume, and temperature are related.

take the shape and volume of its container, as the gas particles are free to move and spread out to fill the available space. This is due to the lower intermolecular forces between gas particles compared to solids and liquids.
Solids have a definite shape and volume, while liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container. Liquids can flow and take the shape of the container they are in, unlike solids which have a fixed shape.
ANSWER unlike solids, both liquids and gases can change their shape to fit the container in which they are held. however, gases can also change volume unlike liquids.
because, unlike solids, they can't sustain shearing stress
Non-examples of gases include solids (e.g. rocks, wood) and liquids (e.g. water, oil). It is important to note that gases do not have a fixed shape or volume, unlike solids and liquids.

No, liquids take the shape of the container they are in.
I can only tell you that gases are does not have a difinite shape and volume . E.g air / nitrogen / carbon dioxide / water vapour / . . .
Pebbles are solid.
