Solution

Explanation

  1. The particles are very loosely arranged in gases and thus have a large intermolecular space to move freely.
  2. Due to the negligible force of attraction between the particles, gases do not have a fixed shape and volume.
  3. They spread out to occupy the entire space available.

Hence, When we fill a container with gases, It spreads out and occupies the entire available space.
