Takes the shape and size of any container?

Matter in the liquid state can take the shape of a container. However, a liquid has a definite volume. On the other hand, a gas can do both, that is take the shape and volume or size of a container.


What will always take the shape and volume of its container?

A gas will always take the shape and volume of its container. Gas particles are free to move around and fill the space they are 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.


Does a solid liquid or gas take its shape from a container?

In a solid the particles are in a regular patten and are packed tightly together so it doesn't take the shape of it's container. The particles in liquids and gases are more spread out and able to move and bounce against the sides of the container. Basically since they are more spread out the can move and change shape. I'm pretty sure this is right. .


What State Of Matter Takes The Shape Of It's Container?

Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter (with solid, liquid and plasma being the other states). It has the distinction of taking both the shape and the volume of the container that it is in. If you want to include plasma, that too will expand - acting like a gas. So will supercritical fluids which might be considered gases by some definitions, but not by others..

Can a gas change is shape to suite the container?

Yes it can See a gas it needs to change its shape in order to fit into a container or anything that it can be in for instance....If i had a square container and a cirlce container the gas is going to have to change its shape to fit in to the round container...if the gas starts out in the square container it has to change its shape into a circle to be able to be in the circle container

What determines the shape and volume of a gas in a continer?

The shape of a gas in a container is determined by the shape of the container itself. The volume of a gas in a container is determined by factors such as temperature, pressure, and the amount of gas present. These factors affect the motion of gas particles, which in turn influences the volume the gas occupies.
