Tori Aguirre · Answer 1

Because particles can move freely around and so a liquid takes the shape of its container ... Use what you know about particles in a gas to explain why a gas has no definite shape and no definite volume. A gas has neither a definite shape nor volume because its particles spread apart and move freely in all directions.

Amy Mercer · Answer 2

A gas takes up space by changing to its volume of its container.

Explanation:

The shape and volume of a gas are the same as those of their container. A gas has neither a definite shape nor volume because its particles spread apart and move freely in all directions.
