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

Answer 2:
A solid doesn't "fill a container". A person or a machine fills a container with a solid by placing/dumping the solid into a container. The solid may or may not fit into the container exactly.

Does a solid fill a container it is in?
well, it depends on the size of the solid and container.
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
When equal mass of matter could completely fill 100mL or 500mL container?
Only if this matter is a gas.
What phase of of matter has its volume determined by its container?
A gas. Gas will expand to fill the available space.
Does a solid fill a container it is in?
well, it depends on the size of the solid and container.
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.
How does a gas take up the shape of a container?
It will completely fill the container.
Gases completely fill the of their containers?
A gas will completely fill whatever container it's in as it will diffuse until it's concentration is the same throughout the container.
Does a gas completely fill its a container?
Yes, a gas will always fill the container that it is in.
Is paste a solid?
paste is a solid because it does not spread to fill the bottom of the container.
Which stater has a shape of its own solid liquid or gas?
I'm assuming you mean state. Solids have a definite shape, unlike liquids, which take the shape of their container, and gases, which completely fill their container.
What are More detail about the difference between solid liquid and gas?
Solids: they have fixed shape and fixed volume. They cannot be compressed much. They cannot flow. They do not fill their container completely. They have high density. They are heavy. Liquids: they have fixed volume but not fixed shape they take the shape of their container. They cannot be compressed much. They can flow. They do not fill their container completely. They have moderate to high density. Gases: they do not have fixed shape and volume. They can be compressed easily. They can flow. They fill their container completely. They have very low density.
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.

Liquids and gases are different from solids because they?
maintain their own shape and do not take the shape of their container.
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.
