Mass and volume
If a fixed volume of gas is placed in a container, it will expand or contract to match the volume of the container. This is because gases have the ability to fill the entire volume of their container, assuming no other forces are applied. As the container size changes, the gas molecules will adjust by moving closer together or farther apart to occupy the new volume.
Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container. They are not shapeless like gases, but they do not have a fixed shape like solids.
A liquid has a fixed volume but not a fixed shape. If you put it into a graduated cylinder, it will take the shape of the cylinder. If you put it into a bowl, it will take the shape of the bowl.
Solids have a fixed shape and volume, with particles that are closely packed and vibrate in place. Liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, with particles that are close together but can move past each other. Gases have no fixed shape or volume, with particles that are far apart and move freely.
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.
Fluids include both liquids and gases. Liquids have a fixed volume but no fixed shape, while gases have neither a fixed volume nor a fixed shape. Both liquids and gases are considered fluids because they can flow and take the shape of their container.

Solids and liquids both have fixed volumes... in that if they are put into a container, they will not expand to fill the container. Gases on the other hand, do the exact opposite - they expand to fill their containers, thus not having fixed volumes.
Gases adopt the form of the container it contains an hasn't a constant volume.. A liquid adopt the form of the container it contains but has a constant volume. A solid has form and constant volume.
One key difference between liquids and gases is their ability to maintain a fixed volume. Liquids have a definite volume, whereas gases do not have a fixed volume and will expand to fill the container they are in.
Gases are substances that have no fixed shape or volume and expand to fill any container they are placed in. Liquids, on the other hand, have a definite volume but no fixed shape, as they take the shape of their container. Both gases and liquids are considered to be fluids, as they can flow and be easily poured or transferred.

Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither a fixed shape nor volume. These differences in structure affect their properties and behaviors. Solids have strong intermolecular forces, making them rigid and maintaining their shape. Liquids have weaker intermolecular forces, allowing them to flow and take the shape of their container. Gases have very weak intermolecular forces, allowing them to expand to fill their container and move freely.
Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container. They are not shapeless like gases, but they do not have a fixed shape like solids.
