Answer:
Gases do not have a definite shape or volume because the molecules in gases are very loosely packed, they have large intermolecular spaces and hence they move around. The force of attraction between molecules is also very less, as a result gases acquire any shape or any volume.

Answer:
In gases, molecules are loosely packed. The force of attraction between the molecules of gases is least as compared to solids and liquids. The kinetic energies between the molecules is high enough to break away from any boundaries and they move randomly. Thus, gases do not have definite shape and volume.
