What does not have a definite shape that takes up the container?
Both liquids and gases do not have a definite shape, however they will assume the form of the container they are placed in.
When air is heated gases do what?
its pressure will increase if it is placed in a fixed container, or it will expand if it is free to do so
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.
Why can gases change volume?
Gases can change volume because they take up the whole space of the container, room, etc. that they are contained in.
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.
Do gases keep their shape?
Gases can NOT change shape because gases don't have a 'shape', it's the container in which they are held that has a shape)
What kind of substance is made up of neutral atoms or molecules and changes its shape and volume when placed in a new container?
Gases
Does the volume of gases changes with the change of container?
Of course. The gas always fills the container it's in, no matter how large or small the volume is.
What do only liquids and gases do?
Basically, have the ability to change shape. (Withot human interferance)They change their shape to fit 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
Do gases or liquids change in size when taking the shape of its container?
