Supercritical Fluid
It expands to fill the container.
if matter expands to fill the volume of its container its a suspension.
Neither. Volume is independent of mass. Effectively, if you increase the volume of a substance you are moving the particles that comprise that substance apart. Eventually, you would have a gas which expands to fill the volume of its container.
the density decreases because the particles spread out and so less particles occupy the same amount of area meaning the substance is less dense.
When a substance is heated, it can result in a rise in temperature, causing the molecules to move faster and increase their kinetic energy. This increase in kinetic energy may lead to changes in the state of matter, such as melting or boiling.
It expands to fill the container.
If the substance takes the shape of its container, has no definite volume, and can be easily compressed, it is likely a gas. Additionally, gases typically exert pressure on the walls of their container and expand to fill the available space.
This would be a gas. A gas expands to fill the space of the container that contains it.

No. A drop of water and a tankerful of it have the same density. But these are two different masses of the same material. If you have, say a piece of metal and heat it up so that it expands, and there is still the same amount of substance, then the density decreases as the substance expands. Water expands as it freezes; that is why ice floats in water.

The density decreases.
the air in the container expands
Think of of the expanding substance as a box full of marbles. If it expands, they end up in a bigger space (in this case a bigger box). Because of that they have more room to move around and there will be less particles and less mass per cm2 which is what the density is.
Yes, the density of water changes when it is converted into steam because the molecules spread out and the volume expands to fill its container while the mass of the water remains the same. Since the volume increases and the mass remains constant the density greatly decreases.
