Step-by-step explanation:

Use the particle model of matter to explain why solids have a fixed shape, but gases fill the shape of the container they are in. ... The particles in a gas have very large spaces between them, so the particles can be 'squashed' closer together, meaning the gas can easily be compressed to take up a smaller volume.
