Which phases of matter take the shape of its container?
A gas takes on the shape of the container it is in and expands to fill the whole container.
Do particles in a gas fill the bottom of their containers regardless of the shape or volume of the container?
No. The particles in a gas spread out and completely fill their entire container, regardless of the shape or volume of the container.
Does a gas has both the shape and volume of its container?
A gas will expand to fill its container. This gives the gas the shape and volume of its container.
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.
Will helium take the shape of its container?
Yes, helium will take the shape of its container. It is a gas and therefore does not have a definite shape or volume. It will fill any space available to it within the container.
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.
What doesnt have a fixed shape or volume?
Gases do not have a fixed shape or volume; they expand to completely fill the container they occupy.
Why is water call a liquid?
at room temperature, water is considered a liquid because it has a definite volume (it does not expand to fill its container like a gas) but not a definite shape (it takes the shape of its container, as opposed to a solid which keeps its shape regardless of the container it is in).
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.
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.

Does gas have definite shape?
No, a gas expands to fill the container it is in.

No. The particles in a gas spread out and completely fill their entire container, regardless of the shape or volume of the container.
How does a gas take up the shape of a container?
It will completely fill the container.
Does a gas has both the shape and volume of its container?
A gas will expand to fill its container. This gives the gas the shape and volume of its container.
Liquids and gases are different from solids because they?
maintain their own shape and do not take the shape of their container.
It has no definite shape and fills its container?
