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.


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.


What is the matter in a gas state will out to fill its container?

The gas molecules move freely and independently from one another, filling the entire volume of their container because of their high kinetic energy. This results in the gas taking the shape of its container and exerting pressure on its walls evenly.


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.


How can you tell the substance in the container is a gas?

It expands to fill the container.

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.


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.

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.


Does gas completely fill its container?

Gasses do not have a fixed shape or volume, as the particles are not connected to one another. So they spread out, and move away from each other, completely filling its 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.
