A gas will expand to fill the space available to it. Imagine someone spraying some perfume in one corner of a room. Eventually, people across the room will smell the perfume because the molecules have spread out.There is no definite volume. Gases can be compressed (imagine a spray bottle).
What else can I help you with?
How many states of matter can be compressed?
One. It is gas as gas does not have a definite shape or volume thus it can be compressed. Liquids do not have a definite shape but it has a definite volume, making it unable to compress. Solids have both a definite shape and volume thus it also cannot be compressed.
Which sate of matter can be compressed and can flow?
A gas is a state of matter that can be compressed and can flow. Gases have no definite shape or volume, allowing them to take the shape of their container and flow easily. They can be compressed to reduce their volume.
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.
Do gases have a definite volume?
no
Do gases keep the same volume?
Usually not. They can easily expand into a larger volume, or be compressed into a smaller volume.
What state or matter that has no definite volume and no definite shape is?
liquidNO! Liquid has a definite volume (at a stable temperature) which is why hydraulic systems work. GASES have no definite volume and no definite shape - the take the form and volume of their container - and can be expanded or compressed.

Why can you squash gases?
In solids and liquids the molecules are already very close together so they can't be squeezed together much more than that. In a gas molecules are very spread out so they can be compressed .

A gas is a state of matter that can be compressed and can flow. Gases have no definite shape or volume, allowing them to take the shape of their container and flow easily. They can be compressed to reduce their volume.
Takes the shape of the container but not the size?
Gases do not have a definite volume, which means that they can be expanded and compressed, depending on the pressure the gas is under. Gases also do not have a definite shape, so they take the shape of whatever container they are in. Unlike gases, liquids do have a definite volume because they are not easily compressed. However, like gases, liquids take the shape of their container, too. Solids have definite volume and definite shape.
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.
Do gases have a difinite shape and volume?
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.
What does not have a definite shape or a volume?
A gas does not have a definite shape or volume.
What does solid?
definite shape,definite volume,cannot be compressed.
What has definite volume and shape?
Solids have definite shape and definite volume. Liquids have not definite shape but have definite volume. Gases have neither definite shape not definite volume.
What are the steps you need to do to find out the states of matter?
Solid - cannot be compressed have definite shape and volume Liquid- cannot be compressed have definite volume but no definite shape Gas- no definite shape and volume can be compressed Note: check all above! Done by : Justin Bieber
