Use what you know about the particles in a gas to explain why a gas has no definite shape and no definite volume?
By definition.
There are 4 basic states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
That type which has no definite volume or shape is defined, in physical science, as a gas.
Solids have a definite shape and are (practically) not compressible, so their volume is also well defined. Liquids are not compressible, but they can take any shape, liquid meaning fluid (able to flow.)
Gasses are fluids which can easily be compressed, so they have no definite volume or shape. Their volume depends upon the pressure applied. Gasses are not particles. Balloons may take any shape and are always filled with some gas.
Plasma is a special case of a gas, so hot and excited that its electrons cannot stay bound to its atomic nucleus.
That state of matter which has no definite shape or volume is called a gas.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of shape volume and particles solid have?
solid have definite shape , definite volume and close together particles
Explain why a gas has no definite shape and no definite volume?
A gas has no definite shape because its particles move freely and easily, filling the entire space of its container. It has no definite volume because the particles are widely spaced and can expand or contract to fill any volume available to them.
What state of matter has a definite shape but not a definite volume?
The state of matter that has a definite shape but not a definite volume is a solid. Solids have a fixed shape due to the arrangement of particles, but they can still be compressed or expanded slightly.
What has a definite shape and voulme?
A solid has a definite shape and volume. In a solid, particles are closely packed and have strong forces of attraction between them, causing the solid to maintain its shape and volume.
What is a form of matter that does not have a definite shape or definite volume?
Water does not have a definate shape or volume because it takes the shape of any container it is put into.
How does the movement of particles in a liquid help to explain the shape and volume in a liquid?
Because its particles are free to move, a liquid has no definite shape. However, it does have a definite volume.
What kind of shape volume and particles solid have?
solid have definite shape , definite volume and close together particles

Do Liquids have a definite shape and volume.?
Liquids have a definite volume but not a definite shape; their particles roll over each other such that they take the shape of their container.
What state of matter has a definite shape but not a definite volume?
The state of matter that has a definite shape but not a definite volume is a solid. Solids have a fixed shape due to the arrangement of particles, but they can still be compressed or expanded slightly.

What state of matter has definite shape and definite volume?
The state of matter that has definite shape and definite volume is called solid.
Compare solids liquids and gases in terms of their shapes and volumes.?
Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but no definite shape - they take the shape of their container. Gases have no definite volume and no definite shape - they expand to fill their entire container.
A liquid substance _______. A. has particles packed tightly together B. has definite volume C. has definite shape D. has particles arranged in a regular pattern?
B. has definite volume
What do you know about the particles in a gas to explain why a gas has no definite shape an no definite volume?
Sex is good for you so try it with a black person cuz mexicans are gay! ;)
What has a definite shape . It does not take the shape of its container . It also has a definite volume because it can be measured?
A solid has a definite shape and volume. The particles in a solid are tightly packed, which gives it a defined shape and volume. Solids do not take the shape of their container.
Have no definite shape or volume with the particles broken apart?
Gas.
