All particles in a gas contain kinetic energy, ie they are moving. As they randomly move about they bump into each other and so they gradually spread until they bounce off the side of the container.
Think how if someone farts people closest to the offender smell it first and there is a delay before people further away can smell it. It is the same principle. The "fart molecules" start in a "container" with a small volume. When they are released into a larger container (ie a classroom) they begin to spread outwards until they fill the whole area.

What Spreads Out To Fill Any Type Of Container?
Gas spreads out to fill any type of 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
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.
When equal mass of matter could completely fill 100mL or 500mL container?
Only if this matter is a gas.
Does a liquid take up a different amount of space than gas in a container?
Gas will always fill any container that it is in, since it will expand to fill any available space. Liquid does not expand, it has a fixed volume, therefore depending upon how much liquid you pour into your container, the container may or may not be filled.
Does a gas completely fill its a container?
Yes, a gas will always fill the container that it is in.
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.
What Spreads Out To Fill Any Type Of Container?
Gas spreads out to fill any type of 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.
What is the matter in a gas state will out to fill its container?
it will move randomly and quickly to fill the empty space in the container..that's how the matter in a gas do to fill the container.. P/s: gas is matter that has mass and occupied space.
What happens to the gas pressure if the gas is released from a small container to a large container?
When you release it into the larger container the pressure reduces from the previous amount so the gas can completely fill the larger container.
When particles spread out there named?
In the gas phase, the particles spread out to completely fill their 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
Why does gas fill any container you put it in?
Gas has no fixed volume or shape, therefore using diffusion to fill the empty spaces and filling the container.
Does a gas have a fixed shape or volume?
No, a gas can fill the space of any container
It has no definite shape and fills its container?
A gas has no definite shape and will fill any container it's in.
