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.

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 does matter in a gas state do to fill its container?

Spread out.


Does a gas always spread out to fill a container?

Yes


Which state of matter spread out until they fill the container no matter how big the container is?

Gases are the state of matter that spread out to fill the container they are in, no matter how big the container is. This is because gas particles have a lot of kinetic energy that allows them to move freely and fill the available space.


Unlike solids and liquids a gas will?

take the shape and volume of its container, as the gas particles are free to move and spread out to fill the available space. This is due to the lower intermolecular forces between gas particles compared to solids and liquids.


When particles spread out there named?

In the gas phase, the particles spread out to 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.


Can liquid spread out in all directions?

Yes, liquid can spread out in all directions due to its particles having more freedom of movement compared to solids. This property is called fluidity, which allows liquids to take the shape of their container and flow to fill available space.


What state of matter will spread out to fill up whatever container it is in?

A gas is a state of matter that will spread out to fill up whatever container it is in. Its particles are loosely packed and move freely, taking on the shape of the container.
