Do solids spread to fill a container?

The answer depends on the solid. If you dumped a large solid metal cube into a truck, it would not "spread outward" to fill a container. If you dumped small BBs (think BB gun BBs) into the same truck, the BBs would spread out & fill the container (if you poured enough of the BBs into the container to fill it). Both are solids, but one solid will not 'spread out' like the others.


Fixed volume but match their container?

Solids are rigid and incompressible. Liquids have fixed volume but match their container. Gases completely fill their container.

Solids and liquids both have fixed?

Solids and liquids both have fixed volumes... in that if they are put into a container, they will not expand to fill the container. Gases on the other hand, do the exact opposite - they expand to fill their containers, thus not having fixed volumes.


How are gases different from solids and liquids?

they do not have a set volume, thus they completely fill any container that they are in.


How are solids liquids gases are different?

they do not have a set volume, thus they completely fill any container that they are in.


Can a small amount of solids fill large containers?

Yes, for example, if you have 10 dice and you put it in a container, then it will fill up the container. If you have box, you can put individual solids in and it will fill the box.


Liquids and gases are different from solids because they?

maintain their own shape and do not take the shape of their container.


What is state in which a substance completely fills its container called?

Gas completely fills its container, liquid stays as a unit and fills the container with respect to gravity, and solids do not fill their containers


How is solid differ from solid?

Gas expands to fill up it's container, while if solids are put into the same container, the will not expand. They will stay the same size and shape.


How is solid different from gas?

Compare solids liquids and gases in terms of their shapes and volumes?

Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but no definite shape - they take the shape of their container. Gases have no definite volume and no definite shape - they expand to fill their entire container.
