What else can I help you with?
What could be placed in a container that would not take on the shape of the container?
Gases, Liquids and solids are sometimes contrasted by the fact that liquids and gasses will take on the shape of the container that they are placed in while solids do not.
Which state fills up the container it is placed in?
A gas fills up the container it is placed in because gases do not have a fixed shape or volume. They expand to fill the available space of the container.
Does not change shape when place in different container?
A gas does not change shape when placed in different containers because its particles are free to move and spread out to fill the available space, regardless of the container's shape or size. This property is known as compressibility, where gases can be compressed or expanded to fit the volume of their container.
What is particles that move freely in a container but stay fairly close to one another?
Gas particles are able to move freely within a container but are typically close to one another due to their high energy and rapid movement. This behavior allows gases to fill the entire volume of a container they are placed in.
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
What molecule will not take shape of a container they are in?
A solid molecule, due to its fixed shape and volume, will not take the shape of its container. Liquids and gases, on the other hand, will conform to the shape of the container they are placed in.
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 properties do only gases have?
Gases have the property of indefinite shape and volume, as they expand to fill any container. They also have low density compared to liquids and solids. Gases can be compressed and expand easily when heated.
What can change shape and volume to fill any container?
A substance that can change shape and volume to fill any container is a gas. Unlike solids and liquids, gases have no fixed shape or volume, allowing them to expand and occupy the entire space of their container. This property is due to the high kinetic energy of gas molecules, which move freely and spread apart from one another. As a result, gases can easily adapt to the size and shape of their surroundings.
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 kind of substance is made up of neutral atoms or molecules and changes its shape and volume when placed in a new container?
A gas is a substance made up of neutral atoms or molecules that changes its shape and volume when placed in a new container. Gases have particles that are widely dispersed and move freely, allowing them to fill the space available to them.
