A gas will expand to fill its container. This gives the gas the shape and volume of its container.
the container that it is in
if matter expands to fill the volume of its container its a suspension.
gas
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.
Both liquids and gases take the shape of their container because the particles are not held in a fixed position and can move freely. Liquids have a definite volume but not a definite shape, while gases have neither a definite volume nor a definite shape.
Gas will take the shape of whatever container it is in. One of the characteristics of a gas is that it has no definite shape or volume.
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..
A gas takes the shape of its container because the particles are far apart and move freely. Liquids also take the shape of the container but have a fixed volume due to closer particle arrangement. Solids have both fixed shape and volume because their particles are tightly packed.
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.
Matter in the liquid state can take the shape of a container. However, a liquid has a definite volume. On the other hand, a gas can do both, that is take the shape and volume or size of a container.
The shape of a gas in a container is determined by the shape of the container itself. The volume of a gas in a container is determined by factors such as temperature, pressure, and the amount of gas present. These factors affect the motion of gas particles, which in turn influences the volume the gas occupies.
Matter in the liquid state can take the shape of a container. However, a liquid has a definite volume. On the other hand, a gas can do both, that is take the shape and volume or size of a container.
The container.
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.
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).
Both a liquid and a gas take the shape of their containers. The difference is that the liquid has a definite volume, and the gas simply diffuses to all portions of the container it is put in.
Gas only has a volume and a shape when enclosed in a container.
