Use the kinetic theory to explain why a gas completely fills its container while a liquid or solid may not?

particles in a solid vibrates amongst fixed positions
particles in a liquid slips past each other because of their close proxmitiy and takes up the shape of a container
particles in a gas moves freely

∙ 10y agoThe reason why a container containing a gas can never be half full because when the temperature increases the amount of molecules in the substance increase. Click this link for more info on this topic. http://www.dafk.net/what/

∙ 12y agoa gas completely fills any container it is in because.... actually I was hoping u could tell me... Can anyone EXPLAIN? Plz?! thank u! :)

∙ 14y agoYes. Gases expand to fill any sized container
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThe gas molecules move in random motion throughout the vessel regardless of the shape of it.

What is state in which a substance completely fills its container called?
Gas completely fills its container, liquid stays as a unit and fills the container with respect to gravity, and solids do not fill their containers
A substance seems to completely fill a container but more can be forced in the substance is?
liquid
State in which a substance completely fills its container?
Only a liquid can completely fill its container. While it may seem that a gas could, gas is compressible, so even if the container seems full of a gas, more can be put in, so it is never really full.
A container has a mass of 150 g what is mass of a liquid if the container plus the liquid has a mass of 185?
If a container has a mass of 150g and the mass of the liquid plus the container is 185g, then the mass of the liquid is 35g.
What form of matter takes shape of container that it occupies?
Both a liquid and a gas take the shape of their containers. The difference is that the liquid has a definite volume, and the gas simply diffuses to all portions of the container it is put in.
What describes the properties of a liquid?
it completely fills its container, takes the shape of its container
List properties of a liquid?
A liquid has a definite volume but an indefinite shape. It takes the shape of its container.

What happened to a liquid that is not in a container?
If a liquid is not in a container it will evaporate.
What happen to a liquid that is not in a container?
If a liquid is not in a container it will evaporate.
What happens to a liquid that is not a container?
If a liquid is not in a container it will evaporate.
Gases completely fill their container while liquids partly fill their containers This happens because?
The bonds between the atoms in a gas are weaker than in a liquid. All atoms are vibrating. In a gas this kinetic energy overcomes the bonds between atoms and allows them to spread apart and "fill" the container. This is why a smell "travels", carried on the wind for example.
What doesn't have a definite size and takes the shape of their container?
A gas or a plasma takes on the entire size (volume) and shape of its container. A liquid takes the shape of its container but always has a definite size (volume) and may not completely fill its container.
Heat is removed from a gas and the substance becomes a liquld how can you explain this?
The particles in a liquid have less kinetic energy than the particles in a gas.
How does a gas differ from a liquid with respect to the ability to conform to the shape of its container?
A gas will fill it's container freely, and evenly space itself throughout the container. Imagine an aerosol can of disinfectant sprayed into a room at one corner. The gas will eventually spread itself across the room evenly.
