Why a solid does not fill the container completely?

possibly because the liquid didnt have enough volume to fill the container also because logicaly we dont really fill a container to the rim instead we get a container that is a little bigger.............just the way the human body works


Is paste a solid?

paste is a solid because it does not spread to fill the bottom of the container.


Do solids spread to fill a container?

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.

What is the difference between the behavior of a solid and a gas in a sealed container?

The gas expand to fill the volume of the container.


How is solid differ from solid?

Gas expands to fill up it's container, while if solids are put into the same container, the will not expand. They will stay the same size and shape.


How can you determine the volume of a regularly shaped solid?

Put solid in a container ; fill container with water to a known container volume; take object out of container and read the remaining volume. subtract this remaining volumefrom the known volume. This result is the volume of the regular or irregular shaped solid.


Is physical state expands to fill up whatever container it is in is a solid liquid or gas?

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).

Which state of matter will fill a container completely?

All four states of matter could fill a container completely if there was enough of them.That said the properties of the 3 states of matter (that you need to know about for high/secondary school) are:Solid - Fixed shape and fixed volume.Liquid - No fixed shape but fixed volume.Gas - No fixed shape, no fixed volume and fill the space available.A large enough volume of liquid or solid could fill a container completely but only the smallest amount of a gas will fill the whole container.
