Liquids and gases take the shape of their container because their particles are not held in a fixed position and can move freely. In solids, the particles are tightly packed and vibrate in a fixed position, so they maintain a definite shape.
They are lighter in density as compared to solids. Gas are compressible, whereas not all solids. Gases exhibit better flow characteristics than solids. Gases readily react with other substances. All solids are seen by the naked eye whereas some gases are not.
Solids have a definite shape and do not easily take the shape of their container due to the strong intermolecular forces between their particles, which keep them locked in place. This characteristic distinguishes solids from liquids and gases, which can flow and take the shape of their container.
No they don't because they have tightly packed particles. But liquids can take the shape of their container.
Gases have the property of indefinite shape and volume, as they expand to fill any container. They also have low density compared to liquids and solids. Gases can be compressed and expand easily when heated.
The three different types of matter are solids, liquids, and gases. Solids have a definite shape and volume, liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither a definite shape nor volume and expand to fill their container.
Liquids adopt the shape of the part of the container that they occupy. Gases adopt the entire shape and volume of their container.

The ability to flow and take the shape of their container is a property of liquids and gases that solids do not have. This property is known as fluidity.
Gases, Liquids and solids are sometimes contrasted by the fact that liquids and gasses will take on the shape of the container that they are placed in while solids do not.
Solids have a definite shape and volume, while liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container. Gases have neither a definite shape nor volume and expand to fill their container.

they do not have a set volume, thus they completely fill any container that they are in.

No, only gases do and fluids only do so, when excess by volume
