Because gas can spread throughout the container in which it is placed. If the container is large, it can spread widely and if the container is small, it cannot. So gases do not have fixed shape or volume.

The very weak intermolecular forces can not hold the molecules within a certain volume, so they move in all the directions in a closed container or in atmosphere.
they dont have fix volume and shape because there molecules are free and and can move freely.

they do noy posses and property of stiffness .

different gases have different volume because thre mass no. are different

When molecules are in a gaseous state, they are very loosely bonded to one another, as their thermal energy has broken most of the intermolecular bonds. Therefore, molecules can drift around irrespective of their container, as long as they have enough thermal energy to remain gaseous.

Does gas have definite shape?

No, a gas expands to fill the container it is in.


Facts about solids liquids and gases?

facts about solids: * Has a fixed shape, * Fixed volume , * Cannot be compreesed,*Cannot be poured, *particles are extremely close together. Facts about liquids: *Can be poured, * Haard to compress, *takes shape of the container, * Fixed volume, * When liquids freeze they become solid. Fcats about gases: * Fill the space,*easy to compress, *no fixed volume, *no fixed shape,*not visible.


Which element has neither a definite shape nor a definite volume at 40 degrees Celsius?

"Neither a definite shape nor a definite volume" means it is a gas. Several elements are gases at that temperature, including all noble gases (helium, xenon, neon, and others); and a few others, such as hydrogen, oxygen, fluor, nitrogen.


Is argon a cation or an anion?

The element, Argon is neither a cation nor an anion. It is one of the Noble gases.


What have neither definite shape nor volume?

If you are talking about physical objects, there are few objects at subatomic scales that can be considered to have no shape or volume. For example, a singularity at the center of a black hole, not the event horizon but the actual singularity that creates all the effects you see around it, is an infinitely small point in space: no shape or volume (as you will see in the next paragraph). If you are asking mathematically (geometrically), then the only structure, with both those characteristics, is a point. Whatever the space you choose to use to observe a point in a geometrical point of view, a point is always infinitely small. If it had any shape or volume, then that would imply there would be more points composing it, which would mean it was actually not a point. A line has no volume, but it does have shape, and everything with limits along more dimensions has volume.

What is the most stable state solid liquid or gas?

Solids are the least able to be changed. Liquidshave their volume conserved, though the shape may change. Gases have neither fixed volume nor shape.


What are the 3 common states of matter on the planet?

The three common states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither a fixed shape nor volume and expand to fill their container.


What properties do only gases have?

Gases change their volume according to the container that they are in. Liquids change shape but not volume, and solids change neither shape nor volume.


Why do solids have fixed shape and volume while liquids only have fixed volume and gases neither have fixed volume nor fixed shapes. why?

Simply, Solids have fixed shape and volume because the particles are very , very close to each other . Volume of liquid is the space which is occupied by this liquid, so it's fixed unless you cool this liquid or heat it and it takes the shape of its container As for the gases, the particles are very apart from each other and move freely, so they cannot have a fixed volume or shape and this is due to the attraction force between particles


Why can you squash gases?

In solids and liquids the molecules are already very close together so they can't be squeezed together much more than that. In a gas molecules are very spread out so they can be compressed .


What has definite volume and shape?

Solids have definite shape and definite volume. Liquids have not definite shape but have definite volume. Gases have neither definite shape not definite volume.
