Answer:

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

Step-by-step 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.

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.
