What are chemical properties of different types of matter?
Matter can be classified according to its composition Solid: has a definite shape, mass & volume & are highly rigid. They cannot flow, have high density, are almost incompressible & have any no. of free surfaces. Liquid: has a definite mass & volume but no fixed shape & are less rigid. They can flow & take up the shape of the container in which it is stored. Gas: have a definite mass but have no fixed volume or shape & is not at all rigid. They can flow & take up the shape & volume of the container in which it is stored.
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..
What happens to the volume of a liquid when it is poured from a small container into a large container?
The volume of an object is determined by the product of the surface area and the height of the object. Hence if the big container has a bigger height then the volume would certainly be greater. However, when talking about the volume of the liquid, it will be constant. This is because, although the height of the liquid will be reduced by putting it into a bigger container, the surface area is increased. Therefore, it will be constant. ! xx
What state of matter will spread out to fill up whatever container it is in?
A liquid
What is the property of liquid?
Liquid is one of the three classical states of matter (the others being gas and solid). Like a gas, a liquid is able to flow and take the shape of a container. Some liquids resist compression, while others can be compressed. Unlike a gas, a liquid does not disperse to fill every space of a container, and maintains a fairly constant density. A distinctive property of the liquid state is surface tension, leading to wetting phenomena. The density of a liquid is usually close to that of a solid, and much higher than in a gas. Therefore, liquid and solid are both termed condensed matter. On the other hand, as liquids and gases share the ability to flow, they are both called fluids.Ctrl+a

What is liquad?
Liquid is one of the principal states of matter. A liquid is a fluid that has the particles loose and can freely form a distinct surface at the boundaries of its bulk material http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid
Can a solid flow?
yes indeed solids can flow as well. all states of matter are fluids.
Which states of matter doesn't take the shapes of their containers?
Solids do not take the shape of the container
