How gases are different from solids?
They are lighter in density as compared to solids. Gas are compressible, whereas not all solids. Gases exhibit better flow characteristics than solids. Gases readily react with other substances. All solids are seen by the naked eye whereas some gases are not.
Why are gases oftentimes stored on deck?
During transportation, gases are often stored on deck because they keep on moving while in their container. Sudden movement of gases in a container can lead to unexpected tilting of a ship.
Do solids take the shape of it container?
No they don't because they have tightly packed particles. But liquids can take the shape of their container.
Have a definite shape and do not easily take the shape of there container?
gases
Fixed volume but match their container?
Solids are rigid and incompressible. Liquids have fixed volume but match their container. Gases completely fill their container.
Before a container of stored recycled refrigerant is used the container must be checked for?
condensable gases condensable gases
Before a container of stored recycled refrigerant is used the container must be checked for what?
condensable gases condensable gases
Which of the following adopts the shape of a container solids liquids or gases?
Liquids adopt the shape of the part of the container that they occupy. Gases adopt the entire shape and volume of their container.

What could be placed in a container that would not take on the shape of the container?
Gases, Liquids and solids are sometimes contrasted by the fact that liquids and gasses will take on the shape of the container that they are placed in while solids do not.
Have a definite shape and do not easily take the shape of there container?
gases
What does not take the shape of the container it is in?
Solids conform to your needs. [As distinct from gases and liquids.]
Fixed volume but match their container?
Solids are rigid and incompressible. Liquids have fixed volume but match their container. Gases completely fill their container.
Compare solids liquids and gases in terms of their shapes and volumes?
Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but no definite shape - they take the shape of their container. Gases have no definite volume and no definite shape - they expand to fill their entire container.
