Gravity.

The gravitational pull of the Earth will exert a force on anything with a mass and pull it towards the centre of the Earth. As we're essentially standing on the surface of a sphere, the centre of the Earth is pretty much straight down and gravity will pull liquids to the bottom of any container.

No. Liquids always cover the bottom of the container, but may not fill it if you haven't

poured in enough liquid. Gases don't care ... they always fill the container.

Yes, liquids take the shape of its container. A liquid does not change volume, unlike a gas, but it does change shape according to its container, similar to a gas. A solid does not change shape of volume according to its container.

No, a liquid does not necessarily fill the container it is in; however liquids always take the shape of their container. The one has to do with quantity, the other with fluidity.

It always will, but it depends on how much liquid there is and how large the container is.

Can liquids fill any container?

No, a liquid does not necessarily fill the container it is in; however liquids always take the shape of their container.


Why does solids and liquids have a fixed size while gases fill whatever container they are in?

A gas will always have the same mass, as it fills a container it's density lowers. Liquids are non- compressible, meaning their density are always the same, for example water's density is 1.0


Do small amounts of liquids fill a large 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.


Does a gas completely fill its a container?

Yes, a gas will always fill the container that it is in.


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.


Why can't 10ml of liquid fill a 20ml container?

A 10 ML of liquid can't fill a 20 ML container because although liquids do not have a definite shape they have a definite volume.


Does a liquid keep its shape in a container?

Liquids always take the shape of the container that they are in. This is the basic definition of a liquid.


Does a gas always spread out to fill a container?

Yes


Liquids and gases are different from solids because they?

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