water does not have an specific shape because the particles in it are far apart so when they enter a container they take the shape of it because then particles move and slide past one another and because they are far apart, they move a lot so the water doesn't have a specific shape of its own. just like gas

Some would say that water does have a specific shape -- the specific shape of the container that you put the water in.
