Yes. A gas has an indefinite shape and indefinate volume while a liquid has an indefinite shape but a definite volume.

Yeah, but gas still acts as a fluid in physics, and I think most liquids are compressible.

When in an enclosed space a gas will expand to fill the space and a liquid will not.

but isn't that just due to gravity on the small scale? If you pour carbon dioxide into a container, it will act like a fluid, correct?
