The type of matter with a definite volume but no fixed shape is a liquid. In a gas, there is no definite volume or shape, and in a solid there is a fixed shape and definite volume. A liquid is free to adopt of shape of its container, but its volume is fixed.
a solid
A solid will not change shape without being altered.
Of the phases of matter, only a solid has a definite shape.
This describes the state of matter we call a solid.
And the answer is...................................................... a LIQUID
Solid matter has a definite shape and volume.
A SOLID has a definite shape and does not easily take the shape of its container.
Liquid
solid

gas
It sounds like you are studying liquids, solids and gases.A liquid doesn't have a definite shape; it will shape like any container you pour it in.A gas doesn't have a definite volume; you can keep it at high pressure or low pressure and it will squeeze.A solid is the third type of physical state.
A solid has a definite shape and volume and the particles in a solid stay in the same position relative to each other. A liquid has a definite volume, but not a definite shape, and the particles in a liquid slide past and over each other. A gas has neither a definite shape nor volume but fills the entire container it is in. The particles in a gas move all around and bounce off each other and the walls of the container.
Solids are the type of matter with contain their own shape. Liquids take the shape of the container they are in and gasses fill their container, so therefore, solids are the type of matter which have a shape of their own.

A gas has no definite shape or volume.

WATER has no definite shape but has definite volume.
A gas.
A plastic or fluid.
take up space and have particles
liquid
The matter that can change shape and volume is gas.
Matter that has a definite shape and volume is in solid state.
By definition. There are 4 basic states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. That type which has no definite volume or shape is defined, in physical science, as a gas. Solids have a definite shape and are (practically) not compressible, so their volume is also well defined. Liquids are not compressible, but they can take any shape, liquid meaning fluid (able to flow.) Gasses are fluids which can easily be compressed, so they have no definite volume or shape. Their volume depends upon the pressure applied. Gasses are not particles. Balloons may take any shape and are always filled with some gas. Plasma is a special case of a gas, so hot and excited that its electrons cannot stay bound to its atomic nucleus. That state of matter which has no definite shape or volume is called a gas.
gas
Any type of matter that does not hold shape but does hold its volume.
