Homework Statement
More of a simple nomenclature question than a physics question:
Is there a specific name for the property of gas that says gas will expand to fill the volume and shape of its container? Or is it just called one of the basic properties of gas?
Homework Equations
N/A
The Attempt at a Solution
I've tried Googling several permutations of "name property gas expand volume shape container," but no dice.
(It's not really a homework question -- I'm a liberal arts major, the last science course I took was geology 1000 -- but I was just curious, and I figured this sort of question might pop up in middle- or high-school level science classes. I apologize in advance if I should have posted this in another subforum.)
