Detailed explanation-1: -Gases have the following characteristics: No definite shape (takes the shape of its container) No definite volume.

Detailed explanation-2: -A gas has neither a definite shape nor a definite volume. Like liquids, gases are fluids. The particles in a gas can move around one another freely. If a gas is released in a closed container, the gas particles will move in all directions and spread apart as they fill the container.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gases don’t have a fixed shape or a fixed volume. The particles move around all the time and spread out. This is why a gas fills its container.

Detailed explanation-4: -A gas fills its container, taking both the shape and the volume of the container. Liquids and gases are called fluids because they can be made to flow, or move. In any fluid, the molecules themselves are in constant, random motion, colliding with each other and with the walls of any container.
