Here's why:
* Shape: Gases take the shape of their container. If you put a gas in a bottle, it will fill the entire bottle. If you put it in a balloon, it will take the shape of the balloon.
* Volume: Gases expand to fill the available space. Unlike solids and liquids, which have a fixed volume, the volume of a gas changes depending on its container.
