Plasma is the fourth state of matter. It is a highly excited group of atoms and molecules that can only be achieved at incredibly high temperatures. Because the atoms and molecules are so excited they will act like a gas and expand to fill any container they are put into.
A gas is a state of matter that will spread out to fill up whatever container it is in. Its particles are loosely packed and move freely, taking on the shape of the container.
The gaseous phase has molecules that will diffuse to fill their container. Gas particles are in constant, random motion and will spread out to occupy the available space uniformly.
liquids
Which is NOT true? 1. Molecules in a gas are close together compared to their large molecular size. 2. A solid has a set shape and volume. 3. Molecules in a gas spread out to fill their container. 4. Molecules in a liquid have more freedom of movement than those in a solid. 5. Molecules in a solid are close together.
A gas takes up the space of its container because the particles are widely spaced and move freely. This allows them to spread out and fill the available space.
The answer depends on the solid. If you dumped a large solid metal cube into a truck, it would not "spread outward" to fill a container. If you dumped small BBs (think BB gun BBs) into the same truck, the BBs would spread out & fill the container (if you poured enough of the BBs into the container to fill it). Both are solids, but one solid will not 'spread out' like the others.
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.
Spread out.
Yes
Gases are the state of matter that spread out to fill the container they are in, no matter how big the container is. This is because gas particles have a lot of kinetic energy that allows them to move freely and fill the available space.

Gas. (Or plasma, if one wants to get technical)
A gas is a state of matter that will spread out to fill up whatever container it is in. Its particles are loosely packed and move freely, taking on the shape of the container.
it will spread
Yes, gas will uniformly fill any container it is put in to fill the available space. The gas molecules will spread out to evenly fill the space they are contained in.
Gases have molecules that can spread far apart to fill any shape or container. The particles in a gas are in constant random motion, allowing them to quickly fill the available space.
