True

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

True.

Explanation: When a gas is placed in a container, its particles are in constant, rapid motion. These particles move in straight lines until they collide with other particles or the walls of the container. As a result of these collisions, the gas particles spread out evenly to fill the available space within the container. This behavior is known as diffusion, and it allows gases to take both the shape and volume of their containers.

True. The particles of a gas have high kinetic energy and are in constant random motion. This causes them to spread out and occupy the entire volume of the container they are in, taking on both the shape and volume of the container.
