Depends on the strength of the container. A balloon, for instance, won't keep it's shape but a glass jar can within proportion. See Boyle's Law. I oppose gas does not keep the shape of anything that has yet to be inviented

∙ 12y agoNope. A gas changes shape to fill its container, just like a liquid.
Example: If you blow air (a gas) into a balloon, it is conforms to the shape of a bolloon. If it didn't, it would be like dropping a marble into the balloon.

∙ 13y agoYes! A gas has no definite shape nor volume.
Therefore, whatever container you put the gas in, the gas immediately takes that shape
A gas takes up the shape and volume of it's container so yes.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoYes. A gas will take on both the shape and size of tis container.

∙ 13y agoyes, gas can assume the definite shape of the container as it does not have any definite shape and can flow.

∙ 10y agoYes. It expands and becomes less dense.

It has no definite shape and fills its container?
A gas has no definite shape and will fill any container it's in.
Changes shape and volume to fit container?
-- Gases change their shape and volume to match the container they're in. -- Liquids change their shape but not their volume. -- Solids don't change anything. It doesn't matter if they're in a glass jar, a rubber balloon, or a paper bag. ===== A Gas
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.
A fluid is?
A fluid is any gas or liquid that flows, can be poured, and takes the shape of its container.
What is ketcup solid liquid or gas?
As Ketchup will change its shape based on the container its in (otherwise you wouldn't be able to push it out of the hole in the container - it is a liquid
What determines the shape a volume of a gas inside a container?
The shape of the gas is determined by the shape of the container (assuming that there is enough gas to fill the container). The volume of the gas is determined by the volume of the container (again assuming that there is enough gas present to fill the container.). When a gas is introduced into any container, it will assume the size and shape of the container if the container is filled. The exception to this rule might be if the pressure of the gas introduced is great enough to influence the shape of the container (i.e. blowing up a balloon).
What determines the shape and volume of a a gas inside a container?
The shape of the containerA property of a gas is that it expands to fill the shape and volume of a container. An exception may be the case where there is more than one gas and the heavier gasses will tend to settle to the bottom of the container.
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
How is gas able to to fill a container of any shape or size?
Because gas has no shape and gases adopt the shape of that container in which gas is placed.
Does a gas has both the shape and volume of its container?
A gas will expand to fill its container. This gives the gas the shape and volume of its container.
Does gas takes the shape of the container?
Yes. A gas will take on both the shape and size of tis container.
What determines that shape and volume of a gas inside a container?
The container determines the shape.
It has no definite shape and fills its container?
A gas has no definite shape and will fill any container it's in.
Is there a shape of gas?
Gas only has a volume and a shape when enclosed in a container.
What determines the volume and shape of gas in a container?
The container.
Will helium take the shape of its container?
Yes, helium will take the shape of its container. It is a gas and therefore does not have a definite shape or volume. It will fill any space available to it within the container.
What takes a shape of the container solid liquid or gas?
A gas and a liquid will both take the shape of their container. However only a gas will take on the volume of its container as well.
