Why do gases completely fill their container whilst liquids partly fill their containers?

Gasses do not have a fixed shape or volume, as the particles are not connected to one another. So they spread out, and move away from each other, completely filling its container.

∙ 11y agoIt is because in a gas, the particles are very spread out, their attraction is not as great as in a liquid or a solid. Since they are not affected as much by this force that keeps particles together, they can move more freely, unlike a solid, where the particles only vibrate. Also, because of diffusion, the particles seek to be in equilibrium with one another, so they will spread out to achieve that equilibrium.

∙ 11y agoa gas is like a liquid so it will fill any container you put it in, a solid won't because its a matter.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoA gas completely fills any container you put it in because since it doesn't have a definite volume or shape, it is able to be expanded or compressed
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoA gas has no fixed volume or shape; therefore diffusing and filling the empty spaces. Now what you have is the container is completely filled with the gas.

∙ 14y agoThe reason why a gas fulls a container because it molecules are not stable will never take the shape of any container.

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.
