No. Solids have definite shape and mass. Liquids, however, DO spread to take the shape of their container.

Answer 2:
The answer depends on the solid.
If you dumped a large solid metal cube into a truck, it would not "spread outward" to fill a container.
If you dumped small BBs (think BB gun BBs) into the same truck, the BBs would spread out & fill the container (if you poured enough of the BBs into the container to fill it). Both are solids, but one solid will not 'spread out' like the others.

What is the difference between the behavior of a solid and a gas in a sealed container?
The gas expand to fill the volume of the container.
Is physical state expands to fill up whatever container it is in is a solid liquid or gas?
A gas will expand to fill up the container it is in because the particles are free to move and have a lot of kinetic energy. Solids and liquids have more compacted particles and won't expand to fill the container.
What expand or contract to take the shape of a container?
Liquids and gasses will expand or contract to take the shape of a container.
If A scientist places 25 ml of a yellow substance into a 50 ml container the substance quickly fills the entire container is it a solid liquid or gas?
liquid because the yellow substance takes the form of the container.
Can gasses expand to fit their container?
Yes, gases can expand to fill the space of their container because they are not confined by a definite shape or volume. The particles in a gas have high kinetic energy and move freely, allowing them to spread out and fill any available space.
What is the difference between the behavior of a solid and a gas in a sealed container?
The gas expand to fill the volume of the container.
What phase of of matter has its volume determined by its container?
A gas. Gas will expand to fill the available space.
How is solid differ from solid?
Gas expands to fill up it's container, while if solids are put into the same container, the will not expand. They will stay the same size and shape.
Is physical state expands to fill up whatever container it is in is a solid liquid or gas?
A gas will expand to fill up the container it is in because the particles are free to move and have a lot of kinetic energy. Solids and liquids have more compacted particles and won't expand to fill the container.
What will matter in a gaseous state do to fill its container?
Gases will expand to fill their containers.
Does a solid fill a container it is in?
well, it depends on the size of the solid and container.
How is solid different from gas?
Gas expands to fill up it's container, while if solids are put into the same container, the will not expand. They will stay the same size and shape.
What substance expand to fill the entire volume of its container?
A gas can expand to fill the entire volume of its container because the particles are not confined and can move freely. When a gas is placed in a container, it will fill the entire space available to it.
What will matter in a gas state do?
It will expand to fill the container and change shape to conform to the interior of the container.
Why is water call a liquid?
at room temperature, water is considered a liquid because it has a definite volume (it does not expand to fill its container like a gas) but not a definite shape (it takes the shape of its container, as opposed to a solid which keeps its shape regardless of the container it is in).
Does gas have definate volume?
No, gases expand to fill the container that they inhabit.
What expand or contract to take the shape of a container?
Liquids and gasses will expand or contract to take the shape of a container.
