What is something that will always take up the shape and volume of its container?

Air (a gas).


Why do liquids take up the shape but gas fills the container?

The intermolecular forces between gas molecules are weaker.


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.


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).


Does a gas have an indefinite shape?

Yes, a gas does not have a definite shape and will expand to fill the container it is placed in. This is because gas particles move freely and in random directions, spreading out to take the shape of their container.


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 has no difinite shape but takes up the container?

liquidsame with gas too i guess. the earth is it's container. gas doesn't have a definite shape. neither does liquid.


Does gas keep the shape of its container?

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


I cannot be picked up I take the shape of any container I am in what am I?

You're a gas. A real hoot.. Your not a gass your actually a liquid. . :)


Does gas have volume and shape?

The volume of a sample of liquid is fixed, but may expand or contract with heat. The shape of a liquid is defined by its container. In the absence of gravity, liquids outside a container will assume a generally spherical shape.


Can liquids shape themselves?

Liquids will take up the shape of the container.


Which state fills up the container it is placed in?

A gas fills up the container it is placed in because gases do not have a fixed shape or volume. They expand to fill the available space of the container.
