Question

you move a substance from a small container to a larger container. which state of matter would that substance be if it spread out in all directions to completely fill the larger container? gas plasma liquid solid

Explanation:

Gas and plasma are states of matter where particles are highly energetic and not closely bound. When moved to a larger container, gas particles spread out to fill the entire volume due to their high kinetic energy and weak intermolecular forces. Plasma, similar to gas in this regard (though with ionized particles), also fills the container. Liquids have more intermolecular forces than gases/plasma, so they take the container's shape but don't fill it completely (have a definite volume). Solids have strong intermolecular forces, fixed shape and volume, so they don't spread to fill a larger container.

Answer:

Gas and Plasma.
