A gas has the property of expanding to fill the entire volume of its container, regardless of the shape or size. This occurs because gas particles are in constant, random motion and are far apart compared to liquids and solids. As a result, they spread out to occupy all available space, leading to uniform distribution throughout the container. Additionally, gases are compressible, meaning their volume can change significantly under pressure.
What else can I help you with?
Can a gas change is shape to suite the container?
Yes it can See a gas it needs to change its shape in order to fit into a container or anything that it can be in for instance....If i had a square container and a cirlce container the gas is going to have to change its shape to fit in to the round container...if the gas starts out in the square container it has to change its shape into a circle to be able to be in the circle container
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.
How does a gas differ from a liquid with respect to the ability to conform to the shape of its container?
A gas will fill it's container freely, and evenly space itself throughout the container. Imagine an aerosol can of disinfectant sprayed into a room at one corner. The gas will eventually spread itself across the room evenly.
What property of gases is described as amount of space occupied by the gas?
The property of gases described as the amount of space occupied by the gas is known as volume. Volume is a fundamental characteristic of gases, which typically expands to fill the container they are in, regardless of the container's shape or size. This behavior is due to the high kinetic energy of gas molecules, allowing them to move freely and spread out.
If you have a gas in a closed container what would happen?
depends on the type of gas and container;) In general, every gas will slowly come out of the container due to diffusion processes; sometimes gases can chemically react with container material. At last, if gas pressure is too high, the container can just blow up.
Why does gas fill any container you put it in?
Gas has no fixed volume or shape, therefore using diffusion to fill the empty spaces and filling the container.
When you decrease the size of the container that the gas is in the gas will exert more pressure on the container what law or property is this?
This is part of Boyle's Law.
What state of matter changes its shape based on the container?
A gas changes its shape based on the container it is in because the particles in a gas are spread out and move freely, filling the available space. This allows them to take the shape of their container.
What assumes the shape and volume of its container?
water. :)
When a gas fills its entire container it is an example of the property known as?
When a gas fills its entire container, it is an example of the property known as "expansion." Gases have the ability to expand to fill the space available to them, as they have no fixed shape or volume.
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.
A state of matter with no definate shape or volume?
A gas is a state of matter that has no definite shape or volume. Gas particles are spread out and move freely, filling the container they are in.

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.
What will the gas do if you put a gas into a container with a top?
It's particles will spread apart filling all the spaces available...... A gas has neither a definite shape or volume..... :) -Stephanie F.
What property is effected by the number of times particles of gas hit the inside of a container?
pressure
What determines the shape and volume and 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.
