All particles in a gas contain kinetic energy, ie they are moving. As they randomly move about they bump into each other and so they gradually spread until they bounce off the side of the container.
Think how if someone farts people closest to the offender smell it first and there is a delay before people further away can smell it. It is the same principle. The "fart molecules" start in a "container" with a small volume. When they are released into a larger container (ie a classroom) they begin to spread outwards until they fill the whole area.

What Spreads Out To Fill Any Type Of Container?
Gas spreads out to fill any type of container
Which element will uniformly fill a closed 2.0 liter container at STP?
At Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP), one mole of any ideal gas will occupy 22.4 liters. So to fill a 2.0 liter container at STP, you would need 2.0/22.4 = 0.089 moles of an ideal gas. This means any gas that is present in that amount and under those conditions can uniformly fill the container.
State in which a substance completely fills its container?
Only a liquid can completely fill its container. While it may seem that a gas could, gas is compressible, so even if the container seems full of a gas, more can be put in, so it is never really full.
How can gas fill a container of any size or shape?
it goes by the kind of car you use a t what brand gas was always used in it when u bought it. if you are buying a brand new car then u start it off of what kind of gas will be used and being that gas is a liquid it just flows in any kind of car hole because all cars have whole openings for gas. Personally I don't think the above person understood the question... A gas is able to fill a container because it has no fixed volume or shape, therefore using diffusion to fill the empty spaces; now you have a container full of a gas.
What is state in which a substance completely fills its container called?
Gas completely fills its container, liquid stays as a unit and fills the container with respect to gravity, and solids do not fill their containers
Does a gas completely fill its a container?
Yes, a gas will always fill the container that it is in.
How does a gas take up the shape of a container?
It will completely fill the container.
Gases completely fill the of their containers?
A gas will completely fill whatever container it's in as it will diffuse until it's concentration is the same throughout the container.
Does a gas fill any container which it is put in?
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.
What Spreads Out To Fill Any Type Of Container?
Gas spreads out to fill any type of container
What happens to the gas pressure if the gas is released from a small container to a large container?
When you release it into the larger container the pressure reduces from the previous amount so the gas can completely fill the larger container.
When particles spread out there named?
In the gas phase, the particles spread out to completely fill their container.
Do particles in a gas fill the bottom of their containers regardless of the shape or volume of the container?
Yes, particles in a gas will fill the available space of their container and take on the shape of the container. The volume of the container doesn't affect this behavior as the particles will distribute evenly throughout the space.
Why does gas fill any container you put it in?
Gas has no fixed volume or shape, therefore using diffusion to fill the empty spaces and filling the container.
Does a gas have a fixed shape or volume?
No, a gas can fill the space of any container
What is the unique quality of gases in relationship to volume?
A gas will expand to fill up any volume available to it. Think of rigid containers that will not change shape or volume. If you have 10 completely empty containers that can be connected. Inside each is a vacuum. Place some gas in the first container. It completely fills the container and creates some pressure. Connect a second container and some of the gas leaves the first container, but not all of the gas. The gas will completely fill both containers, but creating less pressure. Continue connecting containers, and the same appens every time. The gas completely fills every container that is connected and the pressure 'adjusts' on its own to reach a new equilibrium pressure.
Which state of matter will fill a container completely?
All four states of matter could fill a container completely if there was enough of them.That said the properties of the 3 states of matter (that you need to know about for high/secondary school) are:Solid - Fixed shape and fixed volume.Liquid - No fixed shape but fixed volume.Gas - No fixed shape, no fixed volume and fill the space available.A large enough volume of liquid or solid could fill a container completely but only the smallest amount of a gas will fill the whole container.
