In solids the atoms are tightly packed, thus they have fixed shaped and volume.
When it come to liquid the atoms are some more loosely packed, thus they don't have fixed shape but have fixed volume. They take the shape of the container in which they are stored.
And in the case of gas the atoms are situated much far away thus they don't have fixed shape nor fixed volume, and this is why they fill completely the container in which they are stored.

In Solids, the intermolecular spaces of the particles is very low since the force of attraction is very high. Thus, solids have a fixed shape and volume since the force binds all the particles together.
In case of gases, the intermolecular spaces are very large and there is very little force of attraction. Thus, gases neither have a fixed shape nor a fixed volume since there is almost no force to bing the particles together.
