Answer:

Liquids (substances that exist in the liquid state) don't have any fixed shape and occupy a fixed volume. They are slightly compressible and take the shape of their containers. Gases (substances that exist in the gaseous state) don't have any fixed shape and don't occupy any fixed volume.

Hope this helps! :)
