Yes. They aim to have an even density (so have an equal, maxuimum distance from every other particle). If the container is massive, it will still fill it. It will just be very low density.

What gases expand?
All gases can and will expand in the right conditions.
Why does air pressure go on changing as the altiude changes?
Gas is subject to gravity in the same way as everything else. The Earth retains its atmosphere because of gravity. Gases have a general tendency to expand to fill all of the space available to them, but the gases that make the Earth's atmosphere cannot expand for ever into space because gravity causes them to stick to the Earth. The balance between expansion and gravity means that atmospheric pressure is higher where gravity is higher. As you move away from the Earth, gravity is weaker and the gases that make up the atmosphere can expand and so have lower pressure.
What is the difference between a fluid and a liquid?
Fluids versus liquidsAll liquids are fluids but not all fluids are liquids. The scientist (or engineer) will make that distinction but the non-scientist frequently doesn't. Fluids flow. They include liquids and gases. Liquids are a type of fluid that flows and takes the shape of its container but does not expand to fill its container. (Gases do that.) Liquid is the second state of matter, between solid and gas.Liquids do not expand, gases do. The main point is that gases and liquids are both fluids.both liquids and gases are called fluids
When a gas or liquid is heated its molecules move away from each other?
Gases expand as they are heated, as do nearly all liquids. In the course of expansion, the molecules move away from each other.
Does each air particle expand as air is heated?
it is not the heat particle that expand it is the intermolecular space between them increases by particles moving further apart and all particles move apart by gaining kinetic energy but not at the same time.
What gases expand?
All gases can and will expand in the right conditions.
In state of matter do the particles expand to fill all the space available?
In the gas state of matter the molecules are moving too fast to stick to other molecules. Because they are free floating the molecules expand to fill all of the space available.
What gasses are to fill whatever space is available to them?
That's what gases do. All types of gas fill the space that is available to them. It is the result of random thermal motion.
What is a property that all gases have?
They can all be easily compressed, they all expand to fill their containers and they all occupy much more space than the liquid or solid that they were formed from.

In which state of matter do the particles expand to fill all the space?
In the gas state of matter the molecules are moving too fast to stick to other molecules. Because they are free floating the molecules expand to fill all of the space available.
Which of these does not expand liquid solid or gas?
All of them can expand - for example, when they are heated. Gases usually expand more than solids or liquids.
Can all gasses contract and expand?
Yes. That is one of the properties of gases.
Why will all solids liquids and gases all expand and contract?
They are all subordinated to temperature variations, which make them contract or expand. This is a physical characteristic for almost all elements.
In which state of matter do the particles spread apart and fill all the space available to them?
Very probable this space is empty, is vacuum.
How does gas particles move through a room?
diffusion
What state of matter expands the most on heating?
Solids, liquids and gases expand when heated, liquids and gases expand much more that solids. Gases can be compressed
