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.

Do solids spread outward to fill their their containers?
no
Does a Solid expand to fill its container?
No. Solids have definite shape and mass. Liquids, however, DO spread to take the shape of their container.---Answer 2: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).

What is the matter in a gas state will out to fill its container?
it will move randomly and quickly to fill the empty space in the container..that's how the matter in a gas do to fill the container.. P/s: gas is matter that has mass and occupied space.
What does matter in a gas state do to fill its container?
Spread out.
Does a gas always spread out to fill a container?
Yes
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.
When particles spread out there named?
In the gas phase, the particles spread out to completely fill their container.
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.
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.
