Because gas has no shape and gases adopt the shape of that container in which gas is placed.

What doesn't have a definite size and takes the shape of their container?

A gas or a plasma takes on the entire size (volume) and shape of its container. A liquid takes the shape of its container but always has a definite size (volume) and may not completely fill its container.


Does a solid fill a container it is in?

well, it depends on the size of the solid and container.


Can liquids fill any container?

Yes, liquids can fill containers as long as the container can hold the volume of the liquid. The shape and size of the container will determine how the liquid fills it. Liquids will take the shape of the container they are poured into.


What kind of matter takes the shape and size of any container?

Gases can take the shape and size of any container because they have particles with high kinetic energy that move freely and independently. This allows them to fill and conform to the shape of their container.


What fills a container regardless of its size or shape?

Gas not liquid because you may have too much liquid


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.


What determines the shape a volume of a gas inside a container?

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).


What type of matter has not definite shape or size?

A gas is a type of matter that does not have a definite shape or size. Gases will expand to fill the space available to them, taking on the shape of their container.

How can gas fill a container of any size or shape?

it goes by the kind of car you use a t what brand gas was always used in it when u bought it. if you are buying a brand new car then u start it off of what kind of gas will be used and being that gas is a liquid it just flows in any kind of car hole because all cars have whole openings for gas. Personally I don't think the above person understood the question... A gas is able to fill a container because it has no fixed volume or shape, therefore using diffusion to fill the empty spaces; now you have a container full of a gas.


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.
