Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Gases are a state of matter and have no definite shape or volume. They have lower density than solids and liquids. The molecules in gases are very loosely packed, have large intermolecular spaces, and move around. If a gas is released in a closed container, the gas particles will move in all directions, spread apart, and fill the container.
Thus the corrected statement would be that gases don't have a definite shape or volume.
