Answer

The property of gases that describes how gases spread out in their container is called compressibility and expandability. This property allows them to move freely to fit into the gaps of space between them. Just as gases are compressible, they are also expandable. The freedom of gas molecules causes them to take the shape of any container in which they are placed, filling the container's volume.
