Solids conform to your needs. [As distinct from gases and liquids.]
The shape of a liquid is determined by the container in which it is placed. Liquids take the shape of their container because their particles are able to flow and move around freely, allowing them to conform to the shape of the container.
Gas will take the shape of whatever container it is in. One of the characteristics of a gas is that it has no definite shape or volume.
A solid has a definite shape and does not easily take the shape of a container. Examples include metals, wood, and plastic.
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.
liquid take shape of the container because the liquid particles stay together but they still more around. solid does not take the shape of the container, because solid is solid. The molecules cannot form the of the container because the molecules a very near each other.Only liquid can take the shape of the container. Thank you.
No they don't because they have tightly packed particles. But liquids can take the shape of their container.
Liquids take the shape of their container.
Liquids and gases will "take the shape" of their container.
Liquids and gases will "take the shape" of their container.
Both a gas and a liquid will take the shape of its container.
Superfluidity
Liquids and gasses will expand or contract to take the shape of a container.
Both a gas and a liquid will take the shape of its container.
The shape of a liquid is determined by the container in which it is placed. Liquids take the shape of their container because their particles are able to flow and move around freely, allowing them to conform to the shape of the container.
A solid molecule, due to its fixed shape and volume, will not take the shape of its container. Liquids and gases, on the other hand, will conform to the shape of the container they are placed in.

Substances which take the shape of a container are said to have an "Indefinite Shape" or fluids
