Yes it can
See a gas it needs to change its shape in order to fit into a container or anything that it can be in for instance....If i had a square container and a cirlce container the gas is going to have to change its shape to fit in to the round container...if the gas starts out in the square container it has to change its shape into a circle to be able to be in the circle container

Does a gas has both the shape and volume of its container?
A gas will expand to fill its container. This gives the gas the shape and volume of its container.
Do particles in a gas fill the bottom of their containers regardless of the shape or volume of the container?
No. The particles in a gas spread out and completely fill their entire container, regardless of the shape or volume of the container.
What determine the shape and volume of a gas?
the container that it is in
Which phases of matter take the shape of its container?
A gas takes on the shape of the container it is in and expands to fill the whole container.
Does helium have a shape?
Helium is a gas and will take the shape of the container it is taken
Can a gas gas change shape?
Gasses have no definite shape and their "shape" is defined by the container that encloses them
Can a gas change shape and volume?
Yes, they can take the shape and volume of their container.
How can volume of a gas change?
Because gas takes the shape of it's container, it can change volume quite easily. No matter what container you put it in, a gas takes that shape and volume.
Does gas have a definite volume and can change volume?
does gas take the shape of it's container and can change volume
What will matter in a gas state do?
It will expand to fill the container and change shape to conform to the interior of the container.
What state of matter changes its shape based on the container?
both gas and liquid change based on their container.
Changes shape and volume to fit container?
-- Gases change their shape and volume to match the container they're in. -- Liquids change their shape but not their volume. -- Solids don't change anything. It doesn't matter if they're in a glass jar, a rubber balloon, or a paper bag. ===== A Gas
What state of matter does not have its own volume or shape?
Liquid, take shape of container in which they are kept.
What determines the shape a volume of a gas inside a container?
The shape of the gas is determined by the shape of the container (assuming that there is enough gas to fill the container). The volume of the gas is determined by the volume of the container (again assuming that there is enough gas present to fill the container.). When a gas is introduced into any container, it will assume the size and shape of the container if the container is filled. The exception to this rule might be if the pressure of the gas introduced is great enough to influence the shape of the container (i.e. blowing up a balloon).
What determines the shape and volume of a a gas inside a container?
The shape of the containerA property of a gas is that it expands to fill the shape and volume of a container. An exception may be the case where there is more than one gas and the heavier gasses will tend to settle to the bottom of the container.
How is gas able to to fill a container of any shape or size?
Because gas has no shape and gases adopt the shape of that container in which gas is placed.
Does a gas has both the shape and volume of its container?
A gas will expand to fill its container. This gives the gas the shape and volume of its container.
