This can be explained in terms of the kinetic molecular theory of gases. Due to the low density of gases, the particles are more widely spaced and so most of the volume taken up by a gas is empty space (as in any shaped container).
No definite shape and no definite volume. The volume of a gas is a function of the pressure. Increase pressure and the volume will drop. Gasses will expand to fill all the available volume if left to their own device, if no exterior pressure is applied.
Liquids and gasses will expand or contract to take the shape of a container.
gases takes the shape and volume of the 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.
A gas is a substance that does not have a fixed shape or volume. It can expand to fill the space available to it.
A gas. Gas will expand to fill the available space.

Gases do not have a definite shape or volume. They take the shape and volume of the container in which they are confined. Gases are highly compressible and can expand to fill any space available to them.

No, gases expand to fill the container that they inhabit.
Liquids and gasses will expand or contract to take the shape of a container.
Yes, gases expand or contract to fill the volume and shape of their containers.
Usually not. They can easily expand into a larger volume, or be compressed into a smaller volume.

Gases do not have a fixed shape or volume; they expand to completely fill the container they occupy.
